Toyota pickup...not necessarily the T100 or even Tacoma, I'm talking the oldschool ones with 22-RE/22R-TE. 200k mi is a walk in the park. Hell see the two Top Gear episodes where they try to kill one...it just doesnt happen
Otherwise Camry or Corolla

My Caddy rolls ~20mpg, made it back from Sanford without missing a beat at 75mph the whole way, and is comfortable to boot. I paid $1500 for it 
Forge's Towncar gets the same mileage, is just as reliable, and just as comfortable. Also $1500.

It is for a $1500 car! I think dead up Highway driving is 25mpg or something. 20mpg is average for the car.
The Harley makes up for it at ~50mpg on the Highway. It didn't cost me $1500 though.

Yeah, the Camaro gets 8mpg. 
Hey, I dunno about you, but I'd take the 20mpg to roll in a Caddy vs. a Corolla. If I had to do long trips across the South East all the time, I'd rather be riding a couch than in some little matchbox car.
