Hi,
Im about to go used car shopping this weekend to finally get my own car. I have a question about what cars out of these would be best on gas usage.
A 1997 Ford Taurus GL Sedan, 1998 Ford Taurus Sedan, 1997 Hyundai Accent GL Sedan, and a 2000 Ford Escort Sedan.
Also, what colors are the best for auto insurance rates?
Yeah I dont know much about cars if you cant tell but im anxious to just get one already.

The 2000 Escort will be the best for mileage, the Tarurus V6s will be the worst. But be aware that none of the cars you list are really reliable mechanically. Avoid the Hyundai, no matter what unless you're getting it as a free gift.
Remember that a car that gets great mileage but breaks down isn't worth anything.
Spend a bit more money and look at a Honda Civic. Solid construction and great mileage that will beat any of the above.
As far as colors go, whites, browns and blues tend to be the least compelling or attractive to law enforcement. Red is not the color to think about when buying a car. Red tends to draw visual attention.

out of all of those? Jeez those are some bad choices.
The taurus is a good car, but it will never get 30mpg, not even with a tail wind. You will be lucky to get mid 20's in that car.
The Ford Escort may be the best option for the money as a 1997 Hyundai is a little shakey. They are much better now, but that's a 10 year old Hyundai. It will probably be falling apart.

Ford Escort is a good car and with a great mileage. It is very reliable and cheaper that any beaten Honda Civic. The color doesn't matter for insurance purposes.

Well Don't buy a ford...seriously you will regret it. FORD stands for: fix or repair daily and found on road dead. If you want fuel economy and reliability in a cheap car, look around for a toyota tercel or corolla. Also consider a nissan sentra, mazda protege, honda civic or accord. Try www.cars.com and www.autotrader.com . Or you could do what I did and buy a moped(100 miles per gallon)...but you probably don't want to do that...

Choose the 98 Taurus. They are indestructible, get decent mileage (30 on hiway) and you can get anyone to work on them.
Insurance people don't concern themselves with color. Cops do. buy a white one.

I would have to say that Honda and toyota would be a better buy regarding quality and reliability plus you would be getting better rates for driving green......
Insurance would be a lot cheaper if you go with a white vehicle,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Stay away from Fords, they have been horrible the last 25 years (engine problems), and silver seems to have the fewest number of accidents.
