Temporarily need a 40 mpg + banger--any recommendations?
#%^& I wish I hadnt tanked my 1983 240D! That was one economical car!
Meanwhile until I get my 300D finished, I need to get my hands on super small 1200 to 1400 cc banger for the commute to work which is killing me ...hopefully stick and no ac, just a chair with wheels. Cars that come to mind are the Ford Fiesta and the Honda CVCC..anyone got any recommendations?

If it was a "Buy it Now" for $300, it would be mine. Crazy but true, bet I could pull a 12' set of gang mowers with that thing

too bad you didn't ask earlier
I'm selling my 89 diesel jetta (na - no turbo) .. only around 180K on it. Runs great and easily over 40mpg but as of right now some guys is driving up from DC this weekend to take it for $1K.

Look for an 89-91 Geo with a 5-spd and the small motor (underline small motor). Consistently rated over 45 mpg.
