There is no fuel efficiency difference of any significance among the vehicles you cited. The new Equinox, with the 1.5 GDI turbo that burns 87 regular, gets 26 mpg city and 30+ on the road. You should have cited full size cross overs and pickup trucks. That is where obtaining a Malibu or Camry instead would result in significant fuel savings.

Locally some stations are holding the line on pricing at least for today, ~$2.18-$2.23. More have raised thier price for unleaded regular from ~2.22 to $2.45/gal.

Yeah but you got to remember that suvs are heavier than cars. The heavier a vehicle is the worse gas mileage is going to be.

Besides the new cruzes claim to get 31 city and 39 highway so that is something to think about too Lone Ranger.
