I drive a 1999 Olds 88- paid off. 30 mpg in town and 36 highway- During that 'cash for clunkers' I went to check out some of the newer cars and the salesman told me to keep my car that I get better mpg's then anything on the lot and if there came a time for even major repairs mine would be cheaper to repair then any of the newer models.Especially the Hybrids. So I still have my Olds. So far the only problem I've had with her is finding her in the parking lots. There are way to many white cars out there..LOL
