Any USED luxury cars/sports cars with 30mpg+ city for $20,000?
Rick Ross
That is a big ask for good mpg, swag, and 20k.
BUT IS THERE ANY OLD CARS OUT THERE THAT I MIGHT BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND?
(DONT SAY ANY 11, 10, 9 MODELS, BCUZ THEY PROBABLY ARE GONNA BE A LOT HIGHER IN PRICE)
Answer
Older cars generally have horrible gas mileage and since you said sport hell no your getting 30+ mpg deaf and gas efficientcy don't mix

Answer
All motors or engines use less energy at a stabilized condition. Vehicles in the USA, geared for your modest speed limits and the sizes of our butts do best at approximately 50 MPH. My car, a four cylinder, five speed. turbo sports car, 180 HP, logs about 45 MPG at that speed on a level road. For speeds about 50 MPH air drag or resistance becomes an issue. From 55 MPH to 70 MPH air drag increases 100% with a penalty of about 35% in fuel. For city driving the MPG killer is the constant stop and start. Getting the car moving requires tons of energy and braking destroys that energy. And that is why the MPG is better at steady speeds on the highway. However, as you indicate, any speed above 50 MPH carries an air drag penalty. Nice posting. Next time you write, please use proper punctuation. Only one period is approved. No need to be cute with multiple dots.
