Our car made the list! I'm sure the outstanding gas mileage contributed! :D

Actually, I get 24mpg on long road trips -- all while averaging well over 80mph... if traffic is not so bad.

I agree, I was pleasantly suprised by the 8's mpg and performance on a recent 2400 mile trip I took. Glad to see it made the list.
