Compare mpg vs. price?

[JESSE69]

I've never seen $300 cars in Craiglist or ads unless they were back in '87!

I think most of them usually contain 'doesn't run' in the ad text. Half the time they just never bother to check the battery or fuel level and just want it out of their yard.

I gotta say I'm liking the Escort Wagon I started driving this last month. I'm not getting economy that is that good, but I'm taking really short trips of under 3 miles on a cold motor with the defogger blowing most of the time. I expect significant improvement with some dry and or warmer weather though.

Yeah, all those you named will kill mpg. Right now I'm getting mid/low 30s - most recent tank was 36mpg, I was pleased. I checked tire pressure yesterday for firt time in a few weeks, they all were low 30psi range. No they're 40 - and I'm gonna go up another couple pounds - I've changed the oil, and look forward to next couple tanks. 40mpg, here I come...
