Fuel Mileage facts

I am trying to gather a little data. My job is going to dictate that I commute quite a distance daily. I am trying to plan out this excursion. I looked at new cars and they get anywhere from 18-26 MPG ish. That is the Chally, Charger and new Ram trucks. I currently drive a Tundra and gets around 18 hgwy. The Tundra is going to stay at home with my wife and I will be in the market for something to commute in. In lieu of a Prius what can I get from an A body? C body? I obviously love A's but also love C's. Can you all provide real life examples of good MPG? maybe examples of your commuter combo?

A lite early A 2.700 lbs 3 speed with a 170/6 66 Sedan has been on the road for me a few years :coffee2:
Some folks don't believe it but I get at least 24 mpg on the hwy in the flat lands, 20 when I drive the mountain area's and this is with the 3.23 gears with taller 14'' 215 tires.
I put my wife in a 2013 2.4 Avenger for our travels and have recorded 33 mpg, I looked and test drove the Dart but for our use it was way to ruff of a ride and small space for our use, heck I fold the back seat down (like a space duster) and sleep in the back in a sleeping bag :glasses7: Love the Avenger myself.
