Best High Mileage Cars
Given all the recent news about high prices at the pump, there's been a lot of talk about fueld efficient cars. While it's pretty easy to pull up a list of the highest mileage cars on the market, it's less straightforward to come up with a list of cars that live at the intersection of high mileage and outstanding value. With this in mind, CNN/Money and Edmunds.com recently put together a list of 'the best cars that get great gas mileage.' Their list covers luxury cars, family sedans, sports cars, crossover SUVs, and subcompacts. As it turns out, none of the top picks are hybrids due to their higher cost. They do, however, provide hybrid alternatives where available. Without further ado, here are their top picks...
Luxury: Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI

Okay, this is kind of annoying. Last week I reported that Kroger is overhauling their gas discount program. According to the note on my receipt, details would be forthcoming in the May 6th circular. So when I checked the circular, they had a vague blurb ... Read
I was grocery shopping at Kroger (KR) the other night when I noticed something interesting (and disappointing) at the bottom of my receipt... It seems that the gas discount for Kroger Plus Card holders is coming to an end on May 6th. If you're not ... Read
