I am starting my job in Geneva and I need a car that can make the commute 50 minutes with some solid MPG numbers. My DSM gets 31-33  all highway if I stay out of boost. I do not want to get rock chips, and who knows what driving that everyday. My accord gets about 28-29.
I am looking for a civic or something in that nature 35-40+ highway MPG. Must be 5spd in good to excellent mechanical shape, and use 87 octane
I would consider trades for my accord if someone was interested.
I really do not want to go and buy a new civic but I have money obviously saved and can pay off a another commuter car cash (within reason).

my girlfriend just bought a 2007 Toyota Yaris and is getting 40+mpg. Not a bad little car and real cheap too. ~$13k brand new. May be worth looking into
