A 5 speed 3.8 gets great mileage, better than my 3.1, and it isn’t a Honda. Jump on it. ---

A 3.8 gas mileage would typically range about 17-18 city and 28-30 highway…I think the city can vary a lot b/c everyone’s “city” driving is different and Pittsburgh has a ton of lights and hills so typically it isnt the best for a v-6 ---

BTW, a couple of things: How long would it take you to save another $600? It’s a small amount of money, but would increase your budget by 25%. Also, if you are stuck at $2,400 you should be looking on CL for cars listed for $3-4k. Anything listed on there around $3 should sell easily for $2,400. Or if you can increase your budget to $3k look for cars listed for around $3,500-4,500. If you pay anybody their CL asking price you’re getting taken. If you can save that $600 and shop a little above your actual budget things start looking a lot better: [http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/car/337318472.html](http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/car/337318472.html) [http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/car/335983133.html](http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/car/335983133.html) (obviously nothing ‘fun’ about these cars… but practical and reliable out the ass). -TJ ---
