..........how about a small engined car that does 40 or so MPG (i.e cheap to run) than a V6 or V8 that will burble along at 15 to the gallon.

Thank you for the voice of sanity!
Unless one truly NEEDS a vehicle with a heavy carrying capacity, it is truly wasterful to be burning the needless gasoline all the time lugging around that big, heavy vehicle. And having a car that goes sixty gazillion mph when most people can't drive safely (nor legally) at those speeds makes no sense either.
Might I recommend a Honda Fit Sport? We have a 2010 one and it
averages 40 mpg. We live in New Hampshire and it is fine on ice and snow (if you know how to drive).
Haven't looked at he new year's prives... but I think it will be under $25K.
best,
