Which cars get the best gas mileage?

Answer

Here are the highest mileage 2005 model cars. Some older cars meet or exceed these but they are few and far between. Think Geo Metro, Honda Civic CRX, Toyota Starlet, Toyota Tercel, diesel Volkswagens, and the like. This list is pretty much complete, I was bored and decided to get all the info from http://www.fueleconomy.gov which is tough to search sometimes.

These listings show make/model/specific options/city/highway and only include cars that attain at least 20mpg city AND get OVER 30mpg highway.

Hope this helps everyone when choosing a highly economical vehicle. I'll add three more to the list because I like them, but they are older cars:

1985-1986 Ford Escort or Mercury Lynx 1.9L carbureted with 4-speed 36/42 1995-2001 Geo or Chevrolet Metro or Suzuki Swift (4-cyl) automatic 30/34 1996-2002 Saturn SL/SL1/SW1/SC1 5-speed 29/40

The 1995 Metro with 4-cylnder and automatic that I used to have got a consistent 32mpg no matter how hard or gentle I drove it. The 2000 Saturn SL I have now gets 37mpg in mixed driving, and my old 1986 Lynx always got close to 40mpg in mixed driving.
