Hi;

I have an 2006 vehicle with a V-6 in it that only gets about 18 MPG in
the city. I
don't do a whole lot of highway driving and have put 16,000 miles on
it over the last year. I am thinking about trading it for something
more practical. I am looking for something less than $20k with an
automatic trans that gets 30+ mpg.

Any recommendations as to what I should check?

Thanks
Pat

It's hard to go wrong with a Volkswagen with a TDI, but I'd strongly
recommend learning to drive a stickshift if you are interested in best
economy.

Hybrids are an appealing technology, but they still haven't managed to
build one with a clear economy advantage over the tried-and-true
turbodiesel, and the extra complexity seems to me to be more stuff to break.
