My commute is made bearable by the ‘38 Opel Kadett that I drive. At 6.9 MPG it is not the most fuel efficient vehicle (suck it greens!), but at 1.2m miles the I4 and 3 speed manual [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] transmission are rock solid.

You'll improve your MPG if you patch that pesky hole in your fuel line. The '70 El Dorado with the 500 CID engine made better mileage than that. Some 5 axle trucks can manage that (aero-cab turbo inline 6's, etc). Yes I know your post isn't likely serious and now I'm nostalgic for 2.5 MPG 12v71 two stroke big rigs and the sound they made.

Good commuter car is anything with a soft ride and comfy seats. Not many cars fit the bill anymore, the modern fashion seems to be for rock-hard suspensions and cramped claustrophobic interiors designed for short people.
