Fuel Economy Facts
Here is a useful link that I found on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's web site. Buried within fueleconomy.gov is this cool search feature to find MPG ratings from 1984 to present. With the price of gas always going up, you can research the gas mileage of a vehicle before you purchase it.
