How to weather the coming gas crisis in style

2008 Porsche Boxster

No, we’re not out of our minds. The Boxster gets legitimately good fuel economy: 20 mpg in the city, 29 mpg on the highway, and a combined estimate of 23 mpg. But don’t think that the entry-level $45,800 Boxster is anything but a pure-blooded Porsche. With 245 horsepower, an optional six-speed manual transmission, downright awesome handling and all the heritage that Stuttgart can muster, the Boxster is as much a Porsche as a 911 Turbo, just at less than half the price.
