DD suggestions Been thinking about selling my car for something more gas efficient. Changed school location recently and gas is kind of killing me. Killing a quarter tank there and back which is a lot of dough for me being that I don't work a lot. If I sell the car, it's replacement has to be fun to drive though and of course reliable. Been looking into those srt-4's but don't know much about them. Any suggestions and opinions are welcome.

Going to be pretty rough finding a car comparable in performance that matches mpg of a stock ls1.
S2000, miata, rx7.. Few that come to mind that can handle some curves which can make for a fun car.
Maybe a turbo jetta? Performance is lacking and not sure about mpg.
Sorry.. Don't pay attention to mpg much really. Mod the **** out of the trans am and dd my 97 4cyl 5sp Ford ranger.

Actually I had to pick one.. Grand prix gtp.. high opined decent cars that are reliable.. Get 25mpg or so. They run around 4k usually in good shape.
Don't be a moron and spend any extra money, as in 2,500$, getting a car to save gas.. Going to take you a while to off set.

Not really looking for a car that'll be as quick as my camaro because it would most likely have to be highly modified. Just something that gets good mileage and has a little power to it. Something like an integra with a nice little motor in it maybe 
I really don't know what model car I want so I'm open to anything really.

The ex had a jetta.. I enjoyed driving it, especially on the highway.85-90mph felt like you were doing 55-60mph because of the smooth/quiet ride.
Only dated the psycho Bitch for 4 months though so don't know about reliability. I know it made tons of 3 hour round trips in those 4 months with no issues.
Gtps are bad *** and fun as hell, especially with blower whine.
Stock m6 fbody would be my #1 choice obviously.
