echo & house - burned (looking for used car capable of 45 mpg @ 65 mph)

[Daschicken]

My neighborhood lost 3 houses to fire recently, two were within a few months of each other. I think it was determined that lightning strikes caused at least one fire, and another was caused by the car in the garage.

Cruze ecos are cheap enough now that they could fit in your budget. Those should be able to get 45 mpg on the highway no problem.

Edit: I see the thread is from 2012, woops. Looks like you got a prius anyways.
