For me, being a gas mizer with my daily driver has been a way of life ever since gas went over the $4 mark the first time some years ago.

My daily driver is a 1980 Ford Fiesta (41 MPG), and my wifey's is a 1991 Ford Festiva (41 MPG). We use the VX for special road trips, a jaunt off-road or when the roads turn bad with snow & ice.

One of the best gas mizer vehicles ever produced was the infamous Honda CRX-HF that got well over 50+ MPG. They seemed to run on gas vapor by sniffing the fumes. Yup, now's the time to buy a cheapo gas mizer car for a DD and only use the VX for pleasure outings.
