Thinking about a car with best MPG!

Considering gas is about $4.00 a gallon and rising, could hit $7.00-$8.00 within 18 months some analyists say. It might be times to consider upgrading to a small efficient vehicle like the toyota corolla or a Honda sub-compact manual trans. The hybrids are really too much more to consider them at this point I think. In 18 months GM is coming out with an electric car. Its painful to go to the gas station now, I find myself trying to plan my driving better, maybe hits 4-5 places at once instead of making more trips. Here is a good article.
