Default Need help finding a car

Ok guys here is the situation. I have not had my car a year yet and I already put 17500 miles on it. I have a 40 mile round trip to work every day plus all the other running I do and gas is 1.99 a gallon now so I want a daily beater. I am looking for a 2dr Geo Metro for a good price. It does not have to look great but I would proffer the car be all one color. The only thing that really maters is that it runs well.

If any one has any other suggestions of a cheap car that gets insane gas mileage I am up for suggestions.

LOL

The main reason I want it is for the gas mileage b/c $50+ a week for gas aint cutting it.
