12 city and 21 highway is horrible for that car. I had a 96 with over 180k and i averaged 23-24mpg. Somethings not right with your wifes car.


I would recommend a Camry if its just basic transportation. my 01 has 225k on it and still averages around 30mpg and the only thing i had to replace was a valve cover gasket 40 bucks and an exhaust leak 80 bucks.
