Just for frame of reference my 07 A4 gets about 27mpg, and the 04 got about 24mpg (larger engine).. I drive pretty conservatively when commuting, so thats pretty close to the max you can get.. Audi's don't generally get the best MPG, cause of the weight. These are heavy cars.

And I need money left over to work on the spider. Lookin in the 10 g range.
Fiat has some crazy rebates right now on the 2013 models something like 4500 so before tax your looking around
13 to 14k not to far off the 10k mark and the money you'll save in gas will balance out. I was just at the fiat dealer
ship but decided to go with a focus over the fiat 500 all tho the price on the 500 is very tempting!

Audi TT. Not sure about that. I spent most of my life in the UK and it has to be said the TT over there was classed as a hairdressers car or something that you would buy your wife for Christmas. Nothing wrong with the car but whatever floats your boat I suppose...
