I currently own a 2003 dodge neon srt4. It claims to receive 22 city and 30 hwy but that's only if I hardly step on it. What's the point of having a fast car if you aren't gonna drive it how it's meant to be driven right? Well I commute to college everyday. I probably drive around 65-80 miles per day. And the way gas is right now I end up spending around 60 dollars on gas a week!! Now, I want an efficient car that's also fun to drive. I figure that I spend around 240-300 bucks on gas monthly so why not spend that money on a car payment instead right? Well I wanna hear your guys thoughts and ideas. I'm a sophomore right now so ill probably be driving 65-80 miles daily for 5 more years (going for my masters in electrical engineering)
Thanks for your time :)
My car is 0-60 in 5.5 sec so I would like something close to that :)

You have a hot car that gets great mpg.Don't mess with success.
Instead of buying a new car($25-$30 thousand) get your cars maintenance up to date + buying a flash tuner.Try new plugs & wires,new O2 sensors,clean the engine & injectors,SEA FOAM,Royal Purple oil,etc.
If you really want better gas mileage you might want to install a cruise control.
Good luck.
1999-2004 saturn SL 2 with manuel transmission - value, 4,000 or a lot less. receives 40 3 MPG. Acceleration is sluggish yet suitable velocity is over one hundred ten MPH. in case you want something swifter get a 1999-2004 Honda. I ignore the call yet its swifter acceleration in spite of the indisputable fact that the engine is geared more suitable bottom end so it produces a lot less suitable velocity. also, The chrysler three hundred is established for having engine complications. i could bypass with the Chrysler Concorde in case you ensure to get a chrysler because this motor vehicle packs over 2 hundred horses so that is going to truly bypass a minimum of 100 and fifty except the computer has a limiter. Its a large motor vehicle it rather is sturdy and also you will get all the options like leather seats for far less then 10 grand in all. basically downside is 17 MPG yet this motor vehicle is amazingly manly.
