Decisions, Decisions - Buying a Car

Well, I'm at a bit of a crossroads right now. I've been set on getting an 05-06 G sedan 6MT for quite some time now, but all of tha factors are starting to play a part. I'm heading off to school in the fall (about 2.5 hours from home), and I'll be making the trip back and forth quite a bit. From what I've seen, people are only getting around 18 mpg city and 22 highway. With premium gas, this can be a bit of a struggle. Here are the criteria:

- Under $15k
- Under 100k miles
- RWD or AWD
- Decent gas mileage (Not looking for a prius, just something that does a little better than the G ((or takes regular)))
- Fast (relatively)
- 5MT or 6MT

Obviously, this is a G35 forum, so I'm sure the opinions will be biased. However, I know that a lot of you have owned other cars, and you have a lot more experience with different manufacturers than I do.

I would like something that has decent aftermarket availability and isn't difficult to pull power from.

So, G guys, does this car exist, or should I make the mileage sacrifice and go with the G?
