I have a 2002 Toyotal Camry. I LOVE MY CAR!!
I normally get around 21 mpg around town on short trips. The minute I hit the highway, the mpg starts going up. On my recent "road trip"
I got 32 mpg, even through the mountains of Tennessee.

Since I know you're not the sharpest knife in the drawer. My guess would be....
The Truck
When I drive the Cruiser, I get 11 no matter what I do. Pull, drive uphill, headwind.
Therefore, I usually drive my Subaru. However, it is about to be replaced with a Suburban.

I was all set to go get a sports car, but finding out we were having the kid kind of put a crimp in that plan. I had to get something with a little more storage room than my old car and still got decent mileage. And it was about as "fun" a car that fit that bill. Anyone can drive a sedan or SUV--it takes a real man to drive a toaster.
Plus, it comes with a built in iPod connector that lets me control the iPod through the stereo unit.
Veeeerry cool.
So far my favorite comment is, "It looks like the box a car would come in."
