Lots of valid points here... shortly before I joined here, I drove a 2007 Chevy Malibu, drive like an idiot and got 24mpg... I always complained about mileage and considered buying a “better” car but never did... I always during complaining would say “I’m sure if I slowed down it would be better”... so I began working on my driving and done low cost mods(best ROI) and was getting 38-ish mpg shortly before it was totaled...

Now I drive a 2004 Saturn Ion, and learned that all the 2007 cars had better PCMs that were tunable... things like lean burn and the like cane to mind but the gain in mileage has to pay the payment... unless you double your mileage or more, it’s not worth buying a new car just for it’s mileage...
