My wife and I are going to pick up our new car this weekend. The new car has an EPA rating of 40 mpg on highway , the old one was averaging about 20 mpg on highway. A rather large drop in our fuel consumption. I am sure many others are taking the same path as us. We just got tired of spending 80+ dollars a week in gas.

It is a Hyundai Elantra , built in Alabama.

You will love the Elantra. It is a great care for the money, and very economical.

My daughter got a 2012 Elantra and we have a 2011 Sonata. We have had our Sonata one year and still love it. The styling is great,they are comfortable, sporty and responsive. Also highly rated by Consumers Reports.

Before then I had Chrysler minivans for 25 years.

We have three vehicles, a Ford Focus, a Nissan Titan, and a 69 VW beetle. Guess which one now spends the most time in the driveway?

You guessed it, the Titan. At 13 MPG I can no longer afford to drive it unless I need a truck. The VW, my project car and my baby, is now my daily driver.

I won’t even talk about how the boat will probably not leave the yard this summer.
