Not really, because typically great MPG = soulless appliance. With my prior job I was driving about 30k per year, so I sold my E63 and purchased a C300 Sport 4Matic. Double the MPG, low mileage, AWD, big upgrade right? I effing HATED that car, bored me to tears. There was nothing wrong with the C300 per se, it was just boring. The perfect compromise is a fun car like a Miata that also gets excellent MPG, but not everybody can get by with a two seater. Surprisingly my son’s C6 Corvette also gets excellent MPG, damn near 30 MPG on rural highways at 70 MPH.
