What do you consider good gas mileage?
Anything over 30 mpg
How frequently do you fill your car with fuel?
I fill my tank once every 2-3 weeks depending on if I am just commuting to work, or if I have a few other trips mixed in.
What are the basic comforts that you enjoy in a vehicle?
Air Conditioning. I went without it for 6 years in my last car and have no idea how I did it.
Are there any special features that your every-day driving experiences require that reduce your fuel efficiency? ie - 4-wheel drive, towing.
This isn't related to the car I drive, but the city I work in has the most retarded traffic engineers ever. I go to work at 6:30 in the morning and have a 2 mile commute with virtually no traffic to contend with. I spend about 4 minutes driving and 6 minutes stopped at red lights because they only cycle the lights every two minutes. As a result I only get around 17 mpg on a typical tank compared to 24 mpg on my old 12 mile commute.
Do you prefer a mundane car with excellent fuel economy over a luxury sedan?
Very briefly in high school I drove a Ford Festiva. When I worked in the dealership I was around a few luxury cars. I'll take the luxury any day of the week.
Have you seen any especially exciting fuel-efficient vehicles?
I worry that this vehicle won't ever come out, and if it does it will be way more than I can afford, but I am excited about the Chevy Volt.
