Can’t help you with that one. Our other ride is mama’s SUV. It does avg about 25mpg. But that generally down hill with a tail wind.

Since the idea is that I would have this vehicle for a week, I also need something that can fit two or three guitars, two or three guitar stands, my Helix board, and two gig bags full of cables and accessories, plus a few additional music-related odds and ends. You'd be amazed at how much I can pack into my little Spark when I am the only occupant.

So, the Corvette is out. Nice car, but not up to the task.

The Civic could do the job, but being just a two-door, it does present a bit of a hassle with loading the back seat with guitars. I kinda need to do quick load-ins and load-outs.

The SUV, though decidedly more thirsty for gas, does satisfy the overall needs of the week a little better.

I realize the idea of this vehicle is to use it for a joy ride. But, for me, a "joy" ride is when I'm going to and from rehearsals and gigs.

@iblive gets my vote.

Corvette plus 3 guitars is a problem. Although, I have carried a guitar and pedal board to play worship band before. Ain't pretty, but it can be done.

Civic. Back seat folds down. One could put a small amp, pedal board and 2-3 guitars in there easily.

Alright. I'll take the Civic. You still get my vote!

Umm...by the way....I will need unlimited mileage. Some gigs can be a bit of a trek. There's no telling how many miles I may put on in a given week.

That's not a problem, right?

No problem. Needs some miles put on it. Retired Oct 2020 and I’ve only added about 8000 miles since. Considering I was doing 15K per year.
