How to weather the coming gas crisis in style

Mini Cooper S

Maybe this one’s not so surprising. After all, it is one of the smallest cars on the market today. However, we’re specifically talking about the turbocharged S model, the one with a 172 horsepower engine, go-kart handling and a $21,850 price tag. Maybe it’s small, but if you want to get noticed, few cars at this price draw the kind of attention that a Mini does. The good news is that you won’t be seen pumping gas too often, thanks to 26 mpg in the city, 34 on the highway and a combined 29 mpg, the highest combined mileage of the group.
