92 Volvo 940 - 27mpg (not always, but like a year after I bought the car and gradually did all the maintence, mileage is awesome!)

98 Volvo S70 - 25-35mpg depending on how/where I drive it

Surprised by the RX7.

RX8s get like . . . 8mpg. Mazda better do something revolutionary because nobody is going to buy a gas sucking rotary that makes 200hp with prices going up like they are.

Third tank of gas in my Saabaru I got about 29 MPG since I had some long freeway driving this time, even if it was with AC on and 2 other passengers.

Indeed! When the time comes, I hope to get like an early 80s Toyota Corona (the car before the Camry) or a Prelude like dakinggamer's. I'm starting to fall in love with old Japanese cars, there's just something about 'em I can't seem to put my finger on...

Your Malibu gets about the same mileage as my Jetta, and yet my Jetta is a smaller car :shock:
