I'm on my second Grand Marquis with the 4.6L small block V8. I average, in mixed driving, over 22 mpg. While nothing earth shaking, it's acceptable for me and I get around in comfort - btw, only requires regular - Nissan needs premium.My next car will either be the Hyundai Sonata V6 (superior price), or the new Camry... if a decent price can be found.Lennie

I am still running on the same tank of gas in my car from may(may 13th to be exact. That's the day I bought my neo.) I got about a quarter tank left. The longest drive was to go get it inspected. lol It won't blow away though, Cob webbs are holding it down. I'm prepared for Rita II.
I filled my truck up the oter day....21+ gallons @ $2.78 + $60. I did the calculation, and I got a whopping 13.09 mpg. I don't drive every day like most on the board, but still, that a bunch of crap. God bless you, I don't think I could do it anymore. If I drove 60 miles per day, round trip, 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year. That would be $3,309.80 in gas alone! Anyway....I'm not telling you anything you don't already know. I was in England a few years ago, and saw my 1st SMART car. It's made by Mercedes Benz, and will be coming to America soon. I know it looks goofy, but, it's a car that grows on you, the more you see it. They're pretty quick, due to the power to weight ratio. http://www.smartusa.com/ Click on "SMART in the news", and watch the USA movie. After you watch that movie... watch this one, and see what you'll be able to do.http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?ei=UTF-8&p=parallel+parking&cs=bz&b=0&oid=a0d46934ecd034de&rurl=blog.mikebrowne.com&vdone=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.yahoo.com%2Fvideo%2Fsearch%3Fei%3DUTF-8%26p%3Dparallel%2Bparking%26cs%3Dbz
