My mustang gets bad mileage and will get even worse with the built motor, but ill still drive it every nice day that I get a chance, who careshow much gas costs or how many mpg you get. Life is about living it, might as well ahve wha tyou want and deal with the rest.

American fuel standards are a joke. IMHO, non-commercial vehicles should be required to get at least 25MPG city.
An Audi A3 with a 2.0L Direct-Injection Turbo Diesel gets roughly 36/56 MPG city/highway. Gutless engine you say? 130 HP with 236 ft-lb of torque is a lot more than you'll get stock in a Civic. Cramped you say? I've seen people 6'3" drive it before with room to spare.

Had a friend who had a Trailblazer (lifted up like you wouldn't believe) that got 9 miles to the gallon.

My GTO averages around 21-25 mpg with my typical commute. I feel that's below average and anything between 25-30 is pretty average since a Honda, Nissan, Mazda, GM, V6 can get into that range. The 4 cylinders higher output models that I've owned have gotten around 32mpg which i think is decent, but I never had a smaller 4 cylinder that was purely a commuter car. I know some of the smaller Toyota and Honda engines can get 40+mpg which is probably the best on a pure gasoline engine.
that's pretty good mpg for a high powered car. "good" is certainly relative to the size and performence of the vehicle.
A lot of people are suprised when I tell them I can get that gas mileage, but a typical 15 gallon fill up gets around 340 miles. The key is the 6 speed manual that sits around 1500 rpms at 60 mph or 2000k at 80 mph.

Minimum depends on the individual car - if it were a supercar, it could take a gallon a mile and I wouldn't care.

Think about what you just said.
Your fictitious supercar only goes 15 miles before it needs to find a gas station, and that 15 miles will cost you $45.

Then again, if you could afford a supercar, the cost of gas is prolly a non issue.
The annoyance of stopping all the time would be bothersome.

So you are assuming a supercar that gets single digit mileage is only going to have a 15 gallon tank?

I read in a lot of car forums that people think 25 mpg is good or even great.
I think 25 is pretty bad, but I'm coming from a car that gets me 40-45 mpg which I think is excellent gas mileage.
I guess it's all relative to what you currently drive.
I would consider 35+ mpg to be good.
