With a commute of 2 miles, the engine sizes becomes less relevant. I think with a commute that short, you'll be shocked at the economy you'll average from a small engine too, as you don't reap the economy benefits until up to temperature.

I suspect <30mpg. If budget is a real consideration for a 2 mile there and then 2 miles back? maybe walking is a better solutions it takes around 4 miles for my car too reach full temp. Never going to be great MPG.

Less than 30? I'd be amazed to manage > 20 in a 2 mile cold start unless it's clear A/B roads all the way.

Isn’t that how the thread started?

Get the 280. It’s a V6.

Mine is a 1994 c280 and it,s a straight 6.
