Gas Sipper or Guzzler

I don't know about you, but I have never purchased a car or passed up on one because of its gasoline mileage rating. But times change and I may have to also. Recently I was thinking about what my next car would be and I came across an article in Autoweek's 2009 Buyers Guide. They listed the top "Fuel Sippers" Here is their list:

Toyota Prius - $22,000 – 46.6 mpg

Honda Civic Hybrid - $23,500 – 42.1 mpg

Smart Fortwo Convertible - $13,500 – 36.1 mpg

Volkswagen Jetta TDI – $21,900 – 34.2 mpg

Nissan Altima Hybrid - $26,650 – 34.1 mpg

Toyota Camry Hybrid - $26,150 – 33.4 mph

Ford Escape Hybrid - $29,305 – 32.1 mph

Toyota Yaris - $12,205 – 31.4 mph

Toyota Corolla - $15,350 – 31.4 mph

Mini Cooper - $18,550 – 31.4 mph

The recent auto shows have introduced other cars that should be in this list in 2009, and some of the numbers may change. For example the next Toyota Prius should be rated at 50.0 mph.

Leaving all of that aside, which of the this list would you be looking at as your next car?

My choice? The Mimi Cooper in either the "S" or "JCW" trim.
