Audi A 4 6-speed 2.0T S series. Incredible gas milage and a blast to drive. I basically fill up up once a month and only if I drive a lot. I live in Atlanta which is mostly stop and go but it beats the heck out of the Avalon I was driving.
Also a Navy vet (65-69) Proud member of the Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club (BB62)
A friend of mine used to sell several different brands of german cars. His line was this: Audi’s are amazing cars but don’t buy one with over 70k miles on it without a really good warranty because it will cost a fortune to fix.
