How to weather the coming gas crisis in style

Criteria

We had two criteria for this list. First, we arbitrarily decided that the car had to get at least 20 mpg in the city, and no less than 23 mpg combined EPA estimated mileage. Then we threw that up against cars that look good, drive well, go fast, won’t be laughed out of the country club or some combination thereof. Price wasn’t a consideration because the list would just be packed with weird looking econoboxes, while we wanted to emphasize cars that you lust after for the curve of their sheetmetal, the way they handle curves on your favorite roads, or both.
