I'd second the recommendation for a Taurus, you can get a ~2000 model dirt cheap and they are pretty reliable.
However, I had a 2005 Taurus rental car. The gas mileage was pathetic for a 150hp V6-- according to its trip computer I got 20.5 mpg from Ohio to Wisconsin. My V8 Lincoln Mark VIII with almost double the horsepower gets 26 mpg on the same trip. Go figure. It could be that the Taurus was working a lot harder to maintain 80+ mph, however. Maybe the Duratec (same size V6 but DOHC and 200hp) is better.
