He makes a valid point. Here is my mileage log numbers from my 21 Ford Explorer XLT. 28,000 miles so far and haven’t spent the $5,000 yet.
Plus the additional insurance and maintenance costs you gotta deal with on a second (or fifth) vehicle.

So you're the guy holding up traffic!
Lol only because I drive like I'm 90, no fault of the car, it's plenty fast... ish
I am sure you meant 52 MPG not the MPH you posted but it got me googling to find out what year your car was.
And how many miles have your Accents lasted?
Any issues with transmissions or engines at all?
I assume the 1.6 4 cylinder engine.

Lol bro I didn't even catch that, that's funny I'm leaving it like that.
This one we're driving now is a 2019, last one we had was a 2017 & before that a 2014 Hyundai Elantra.
The Elantra developed piston slap at 120k before that no problems 2016 & up Elantra are fine apparently there was a lawsuit ect ect anyway
The 2017 accent was perfect, son totaled on one weekend coming home. Had 120k + on it @the time. Only issue ever was a driver's door master window/lock switch
The 2019 has nearly 80k on it now. I am religious with oil changes on these cars, buy filters buy the case and only use Pennzoil ultra platinum because these are gdi engines and oil selection is important to prevent buildup on the valves. No problems with engines, transmissions at all & when this one wears out I'll buy another unless I have Toyota money buy then, yes 1.6 engines

I’m with swamprat. Find something Toyota and 4cyl. Camry/Corolla/matrix
Years ago I had 1996 geo prism with the all Toyota Corolla drivetrain. I had a job with lots of long drives. That car was awesome! Great gas mileage and reliability of a Stanley hammer

Back in the '80's, my wife went for her degree in college, and Panhandle State University was about 40 miles one way from where we lived. We bought her a Firenza (Oldsmobile?) with front wheel drive, which I hadn't even considered. She put 40,000 miles in one year on that vehicle driving to Panhandle State. The front wheel drive was also very beneficial in that she had little problems with driving on slick roads.
My son is a mechanic at a local used car lot and they can’t keep those kind of deals on the lot. In this goofy market I wish you luck finding a bargain. Nobody can afford a new one and the used market is crazy.
