I was just wondering if anyone was considering trading in or getting an extra car that gets better gas mileage

Question

I drive a mini van, and just started working part time just to get out of the house, since my kids are now in school. I told myself, that when gas gets $4 a gallon (it already is in CA) that I would buy myself just a little commuter car for me to drive to work and back, but I can't give up my van, so it would just be my second car. I am wondering how many other people have the same idea.

Answer 1

well, im 19 and the job pay is bad

im in las vegas where its 3.47 and rising

im about to buy my first car, its a honda crx, old yeah, reliable yup evan at 300,000+ miles, and it get 40-55 mpg depending on the model

honda crx hf, dx, sf ect....

108 hp but the car is less than 2,000 so its like 0-60 in 6 sec wicth is good, and wiith 1500 u can get a 180 hp engine installed wicth my friend did and his car is fast and still gets 38 mpg !

and despite looks its quite roomy, moved all my stuff to my friends place with it

Answer 2

No, I already have the perfect car. I have a Pontiac Vibe, it gets excellent mileage in the city and on the highway. I usually only have to fuel up twice a month and we live in Houston, so you know we go all over the place. My daughters are still in school in New Mexico and I drive up to see them at least once a month.

My brother is going to get them a car for graduation, I'm hoping they will opt for a Vibe. My younger daughter already has a motorcycle and has said many times, she was happy with her little Harley. It's good on gas.

Answer 3

i am!!!!  i just considered this a couple days ago when i got a job offer about 35 miles from where i live (WI).  my current car is only getting about 22mpg...and gas is 3.60/gal  and supposed to go way higher still.   i dont want to spend a ton on a new/newer car, but my top choices are the Mazda3 and Mazda6.  Both are rated to get good gas mileage and my only  issue so far is that the Mazda 3 is a way smaller car then what I'm used to.  

I dont know if that really helps you any; but no you definately are not alone thinking of getting a car with better gas mileage!!!

Answer 4

I bought a motorcycle that gets 48 mpg.  I also save a ton on parking at work which is an added bonus.  I ride it whenever I don't have to take my kids along.

Good luck.
