I'd be happy to be able to afford a decent used car with good mileage(my current car gets around 12-14 mpg)

Crikey. 'Mine'* does something like 40mpg (manufaturers rating; realistically is a bit less, but still....).


*technically not mine yet, cos I've not taken my test yet; when I do (which should be soonish), I'm buying it- a Renault Clio - straight off my parents for nice price the same as the trade in value, about £3500-4000. Not the flashiest of cars, but it's cheap, reliable and in good nick.

Well, in KM/L, most EU cars do 1 to 10, so 10 kilometers per liter. Someone else can do the conversion, but last time I checked, the EU cars use a shitload less, and I mean a large shitload.

Gas guzzling or not, I'll still take my 'Stang. I think it has just a little bit more horsepower than the average Honda.

Please note that I will most likely never be able to afford said 'Stang.

Yeah, you keep bragging about that rustang all you want.

I get 250 miles on $20.00 (Which is about 6-7 Gallons, damn price gouging I miss the 1.35/gal that it was when I was living in Florida)

Eh? My car was hit by a Dodge Ram 2500. And it's still looking hot,

And my car can outhandle alot of others on the road, so I can avoid accidents better. *crosses fingers*

Edit:

4x4'ing! Look at that fender gap! Time for a suspension upgrade!

I get about 215 miles per 21 gallon tank, so my mileage is worse than I thought...

That's 10 mpg...

4.22 km/l? You're using almost 250 mL to drive every kilometer? That's... terrible. I can only imagine what your exhaust must look like - it's probably half liquid. There's got to be something wrong there.

No... it's an old V8... so that sounds plausible...

Sad, but plausable.

Seriously, Lib. Ignore what the fools are saying about the rustangs, and get yourself a little Honda. It'll last you forever (150k miles is nothing for a Honda motor) and the gas mileage is unbelievable. You'll save yourself alot of money in the long run.

That's the thing, I can't afford a car right now.

*edit*
I talked to the Credit Union and I can!!!!

Now to do some looking. I think I've found a good one, but I haven't done the carfax yet.

I will be getting a new car very soon, perhaps by the weekend if everything goes well.

It's a 2 owner 1994 New Yorker with 77k miles on her for $2700.
