What do you consider good gas mileage?
Anything over 60mpg is good. Unfortunately, those cars aren't really available in the US. I get an average of about 35mpg in the Jetta, mostly because I drive to get better mileage.

How frequently do you fill your car with fuel?
Less than once a month.

What are the basic comforts that you enjoy in a vehicle?
I want the ride quality to be smooth without losing traction. I very much prefer bucket seats. I need a large boot.

Are there any special features that your every-day driving experiences require that reduce your fuel efficiency? ie - 4-wheel drive, towing.
I need air conditioning. It can get too hot for me to be comfortable here in the Summer, so staying cool is a must. And it does reduce fuel efficiency.

Do you prefer a mundane car with excellent fuel economy over a luxury sedan?
If I had to choose, I'd want a more efficient vehicle.

Have you seen any especially exciting fuel-efficient vehicles?
I'd love to get a VW Polo Diesel. I could easily get 90mpg in that wonderful little car.
