Chevrolet Spark Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	The Spark's EPA highway rating of 38 mpg isn't bad, but many much heavier, much more powerful cars do as well. An EPA city rating of 32 mpg is more impressive. see full Chevrolet Spark review

Chevrolet Spark Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr Hatch 84-horsepower 1.2L I4 CVT FWD	The mileage is well above the EPA rating: I'm getting in a mix of city, suburb and little highway driving 39.5 MPG with the CVT. I've had it up to over 40 MPG with a very light foot and more non-stop driving. That is outstanding! I like that I'm getting mileage similar to some hybrid cars and saving about $10,000 on the purchase price, plus not having any concerns about hybrid ideosyncricies. This car is easy to work on, drives like a "normal" car, and doesn't look like a billion other cars on the road. The stock tires appear to be regular tires, so wondering if the MPG could be bumped up with low resistance tires? Maybe will try that eventually when the current tires become worn. see full Chevrolet Spark review

BMW Z3 Real Gas Mileage: Cons

2000	2dr Convertible 193-horsepower 2.8L I6 4-speed automatic RWD	I guess I could by a newer Z4 with much better mileage but it is not the preformance car the Z3 is. see full BMW Z3 review
