Don't believe the EPA gas mileage figures -- they are a scam to help out the corporations.
CR had a great investigative piece on that and it was amazing to see how completely off the EPA figures were.
We purchased a new car with a very high rating on everything including mileage. We get about 29 miles per gallon. It doesn't too much difference whether its a Toyota Matrix, or a Pontiac Vibe -- they are both the same car except for a few mindor details. If you did decide to buy one I'd suggest a Toyota because the service is better than Pontiac. We love the car and are saving a lot on gas.
