If 28mpg is pretty good, then I don't feel *too* bad about my WRX.
It also
feels like I use more gas than I do, simply because I use premium and
so my
gas bills are ginormous!

I get about 30-32 on the highway depending on how long I'm driving,
octane, etc. I get worse in the city (26-28) because I live in hilly
Portland, OR. Most of the time I walk when the weather is nice, and
will do more of that now since my sight loss has altered my ability to
drive. Just doing my part for the environment, LOL...

Sorry, L., but I missed the type of car you're driving. I'm looking for a
smaller (e.g., better gas mileage) myself.

2003 Toyota RAV4S (sport edition). This is my second RAV4 and I love
it!

I just bought a Nissan Sentra. I've been getting about 35 mpg. It is city
driving, but there are not a lot of starts and stops. The other small car I
found with great gas mileage was the Toyota Corolla. The Ford Focus and the
Saturn SL series were also pretty good.

My niece has a Sentra and loves it. FWIW, DH has a Saturn SC2 and we
have had nothing but problems with the electrical system. The dang
thing is a '97 and only has 20K miles on it because it sits so much.
Needless to say, no more Saturns for us.

I love my Toyota Corolla. I've had this one for almost five years. It
replaced one I had for 14 years and 168,000 miles. During that time, the
timing belt broke once. That was the only major problem I had with it.

We are a total Toyota freaks. Between DH and I we have had like 7 or 8
over the last 20 years. (He had an ex that crashed them regularly,
LOL...)

I had an '89 MR2 that I LOVED, and sold it in '93 with 186K on it.
Then I bought a new RAV4 in '97. It was totalled in a high-speed
rear-end collision (not my fault) in '03 - and we didn't have a scratch
on our bodies - so we replaced it with a new RAV4S. DH bought a new
Tundra at the same time. We love them! Gotta love that Japanese
engineering.

You got that right! My family is a Toyota family too, with the exception of
my daughter, who has a Honda. My son drives a Corolla, my mother had a
Cressida for 15 years and sold it and gave up driving when she turned 90,
and my sister and her husband have two Toyota vans. I'm not sure what model
they are, but one of them is at least 14 years old.
