Since when is low 30s terrible? I mean, I know it isn't as good as a Prius, but I also can't afford a vehicle like that right now. My goal when I bought the car was to spend less than $1,500 and get at least 30 mpg on the highway. With this Mazda I got a car in great condition with 65k miles for only $1,300, and it's a blast to drive. The main reason the car doesn't get more mileage is because it's an automatic. I would have preferred to get a manual, but I wanted to get something my wife could drive if she needed it, and she doesn't drive stick. I think overall I got a pretty good deal. Actually, if you look at fuel economy ratings for small cars in the early 90s, there weren't many that got more than low 30s with an automatic. My car was rated 32 mpg hwy, and that's about what I get. Even a 3 cylinder Geo Metro only got 40 mpg with an auto, and simply because of their reputation for being gas misers they're commanding a premium. A Metro in the same condition as my Mazda probably would have cost at least another $1k, and they barely have enough power to make it up to highway speeds in half a minute. If you ask me, 32 mpg in a fun-to-drive car in excellent condition for only $1,300 is far from terrible.Originally Posted by kdawg

We have two 1989 Merkur Scorpios which get in the low 20s around town and 25-27 mpg on the highway, as well as a 1993 Mazda 323 that gets 27 mpg around town and low 30s on the highway. With my Mazda, I've been averaging one fill every two to two and half weeks, while my van would need to be refueled at least once EVERY week. So you can probably guess which cars have been seeing the most road time, and which one has been staying home a lot lately!
Low 30s is still terrible though.
