30 Gal tank and it's a whammy at the pumps, but when you live in Northern Minnesota, a truck is a must! (Chicks dig them too. :) )

Good days I have a 1995 Honda Civic which usually gets 30-35 with a 158,000 miles on it. Still looks great!!

Yeah, Northern Minnesota type chicks ;)

Who am I to judge? I'd love to have a chick that enjoyed driving a dirty beat up pickup. :)

you can do the tuneup yourself:

spark plugs ($4 for 4), air filter ($7 at walmart), and maybe fuel filter. but you dont need to change fuel filter unless you are having acceleration problems. i havent changed the fuel filter in my nissan for the past 100k miles.

Windogg knows nobody reads through these things, and I know it too, but here's mine:

'94 Saturn SL2 (213,000 miles)
Delivery driving: 20-23 MPG;
Highway: 30 MPG.

'92 Civic LX (155,000 miles)
Delivery driving: 25-29 MPG;
Highway: 38-42 MPG.

BTW, I voted 20-25, because I've been using the Saturn lately.
