ak3ldama's Journal: Vehicles, etc

I have a simple question: if you were looking for (or currently have) a vehicle that got some good mileage while being safe what would it be (or is)?

I ran some numbers and if I had a vehicle that got at least 30 mpg I would save in the vicinity of $1500 a year. I would like a VW Rabbit or Golf but they are not too common to find. Also, I went deer hunting this fall, it was a blast. We all got something, and now I have been enjoying all sorts of good food.

They use jargons like crumple zone and energy absorbent monocoque shell etc, but in reality they get safety rating by totalling the car in a crash. They look very bad after the crash but usually the passengers are saved. With the small car for commutes and daily errands and the truck for long tr

I was considering the civic/accord route. I want to keep the truck for hunting, fishing, and the shitty weather up here. I would probably go with something bigger like a used accord and use it for trips as well. Thanks for the reply.
