Wow i just did the math on how much im spending in gas in a year.... I Put 15 bucks of gas in my tank each day which is 105 a week which is 420 a month which ends up being about 5 grand a year.... and its only going to get worse once i start school i think i need a DD...

 

You must drive a ton putting 15 bucks in a day.

 

S*** you must drive a lot. My truck is my dd and I spend approx $45 bucks every two weeks. Once I start college I will get raped in gas money.

 

yea i do drive a ton and its all city...

what are some good gas saving cars around 4 grand?

 

look at older honda civics. even if they have higher mileage, those things will last forever and get great gas mileage!

 

my trucks tank last me a week and a half- two weeks a tank. and i just let it get to a quarter tank left. 35ish to fill up each trip. get about 290-310miles per tank. lately have only been driving to work and back and havnt filled up for two weeks starting today, and im barely at half a tank!200ish miles too. i love my ranger.99 xlt supercab 2wd v6 3.0l flex fuel :D

 

with my misfire issue, i am at about a quarter right now with around 150 miles on the clock.. yeah.. Do the math lol

 

I've noticed those kia Rios get good mileage and you can pick one up for $4k or less with under 80k miles. There are also those little Chevy Aveos that are pretty cheap too. I don't know about high mileage reliabilty but if it's been taken care of I don't see an issue.

 

geo metro!!!

 

 

Good little cars...

Honda civic, accord, prelude, del sol
Nissan sentra, altima, maxima
Toyota Camry, corrolla


The altimas, and toyotas are pretty ugly, but they last...

 

I spend 120~200 bucks every two weeks on gas.

Its a lot worse when you throw in the boats consumption.

 

Found this this focus ZX3 for sale around you. It will get 25mpg
2001 Ford Focus in Tremont, IL 61568: Hatchback Details - 258856550 - AutoTrader.com

 

this is what you need

 

i must be the only one whose gas bill goes down when im at school. 2 seats=never driving anywhere plus being a mile off campus means i fill up once a month

 

ha can't wait to see what mine is this fall, I;'m going to be commuting all week M-Thursday its about 40 miles round trip

 

I've spent about 900 in the ilttle over 2 months I've had my truck.

 

that will get a hell of alot better than 25 mpg i get 32-35 in my car every tank. and you can get a good used focus for around 4k

 

My brothers ZX3 gets a solid 25mpg yours must be on steroids.

 

+1 on teh carolla. If I steal my wifes and dont let her drive it I can get it upto 37mpg combination city highway. Hers is not truely a carolla tho its a chevy prizm (same thing) and its a 99 there is an ideticle one for sale for like 2k with a 5spd and around 110k

 

How about a bike? You can pick up a cheap bike easily for 2 grand and depending on the engine size you can get over 50 MPG all day long. Just drive the truck when its going to rain

 

i will prob. get a focus for a DD when we get tot he states.. good gas mileage, modability, and its a FORD!

 

Foxbody . . . no joke. My 88' GT (speed density and fully loaded) was my daily from July 08' to February 09' (yes I drove it in the snow and cold). I could go to my farm and back (45 mile round trip) on 1/8 of a tank at 70-90mph, and it only cost like $50 to fill (for comparison, my 88' GMC Sierra costs about $100 to fill). You may not believe me or take me serious, but if you like Foxbodies, ask or search around, I was amazed the first time I had to gas mine up.

Escort ZX2 and Focus ZX2 (or w/e it's called), Fierro, MR2 (both handle great) are also great, fun little cars. Or a motorbike . . .

 

But during winter that'll be a problem.

 

gas prices are low in the winter anyway.

GET A BIKE!!
