Answer 7

Any of the small, compact cars usually get good gas mileage.  Currently I drive a Toyota Prius and get about 45 mpg in MI during the winter.  In the summer months I was getting closer to 55 mpg's.  The Prius is a hybrid and wasn't what I'd call "cheap".  It was around 23k.  Before I drove the Prius I had a Honda civic that was 7 years old, I was getting about 30 mpg with that.  The best and CHEAPEST car I ever drove though was my first car - a Geo Metro.  I bought it used for $700 and and got like 35 mpg!  I drove it for 3 years and never had any major problems. The car was only a 3 cylinder but ran great!
