In the future for picking a car with good gas mileage is going to be useful because the gas prices are already high and they will rise later on.

People are coming up with concept cars for the future that will do well over 50 miles to a gallon. It's better for our environment also. Cars with good gas mileage could be Honda civic, Toyota camry, Mercedes E320 CDI, Honda fit and other cars.

The Mercedes CDI sounds like it does horrible on gas mileage but it is a diesel car so it actually does 27 MPG in a city and 37 MPG on highways. The patrol and the diesel for the Mercedes has a big difference on miles per gallon, the patrol version does really bad on fuel it does the same as like a truck.

There are many cars with good miles per gallon, but you are probably going to be better off with diesel cars in the future because the cars that don't do good on miles per gallon, you will be at the gas station very often.

I know that diesel cars do cost more per gallon but you'll not go to the gas station as much maybe once every 4-5 days. For example the ford F-350 it only takes in diesel and you wont believe it does 24 miles per gallon on road and 29 miles per gallon on highway.

You have picked up an important point about economy and true you need to consider the consequence of poor performance requiring more fuel stops However I believe you have missed several key items:
- environmental factors. Diesel vehicles produce less CO2, which is widely believed (not proved!) contributes to global warming. By using highly efficient diesel vehicles you will be reducing CO2 production and thus reducing your impact on Global Warming per mile.
- vehicle resale. If a car is energy efficient when it comes to trade in the vehicle for a new one you are more likely to get money back if the vehicle is efficient.
- 50 mpg is not impressive, 70-80 mpg is impressive and there are VW Golf and other turbo diesels on the market that will already achieve this on a long run.
- Hybrid vehicles. These combine a petrol or diesel engine with an electric engine. Toyota (Primus) and Lexus (LS, RX etc) have hybrid engines in the range, with the Lexus RX only possible in the hybrid. The electric engine takes over city driving in order to conserve fuel and is charged as the vehicle travels along under the liquid fuel. As the speed drops the electric engine takes over. [I'm producing a blog on it later today, drop me a line and I will provide you the link]
BMW have introduce introduced Efficient Dynamics (http://www.motortradersbible.co.uk/?p=144 ) which pushes their efficiency up.

Its great to see you are keen to discuss and learn about cars. I would encourage you to do further research on these. Check out http://www.motortradersbible.co.uk/for our postings.
