Oh, wow, a my car is better than your car thread! Well my '86 Ford Escort Diesel got 45mpg combined (when I was driving it, on 40 when my wife was) and normally 55+ on the expressway. Once I busted 65mpg from New Mexico to Indiana (but note that is mostly down hill). Unfortunately it was still an Escort and you had to replace the friggin' tie-rods every 20 thousand miles, and it ate tires.
