What car do you guys recommend that saves a lot of gas and has a good long lasting reliable engine, I'm looking for a used car, not a brand new one. If you guys know of a car that has excellent mpg for daily driving, let me know please. Thanks

Are we pumping out of alaska already? But I thought its the lack of the refining capacity that is a problem.

when u sell it, u basically lose at least $12,000(Canadian). Then you go buy something else brand new and have to pay taxes and all that other crap. In the end, you could've used the 12,000 bux u would've lost if you sold it, to put gas in ur g. i duno.. couldn't justify selling the g for a toyota or something.

I prefer to "switch up" every now and then with my 400 hp, 350ci custom el camino. it spreads the life of the gas tank in the G. Oh, and the elky gets great gas milage! about 12 mpg, and can rip through tires faster than you can say mandula ablingada. Its a great way to save gas!
J/K- seriously, I bought a G for a reason-to drive it! not to let it sit because of something little like gas prices- here they are about $3.49 for 93octane.
Now snow, thats a different matter, but still a small one.
hahahahahhaa
seriously though, i seen a civic tricked out for less than 4 grand, and under 100k. that sounds like a decent deal for saving gas.? thoughts?

I just bought a 21-speed bike; have to admit, the seat is more comfortable than my G.
