I'm looking to buy a cheap car this Summer. (will likely be a craigslist buy) I'm looking for something with some muscle/offroading potentia, but cheap and retro from the 80s or 90s.. A couple cars I have in mind would be like a Toyota 4Runner or a Chevy Blazer. I'm not big on cars very much but I'm looking for something like that. I t would primarily be for college so I wouldn't be driving it TOO much, but I would definitely like something more fuel efficient. I realize trucks/SUVs in general aren't big on that, but I just want to know what cars in that category are best when it comes to fuel efficiency. Thanks
As I said, I totally realize that fuel efficiency back then is nothing compared to now. I just want to know which ones are MOST fuel efficient for the time.

Today's trucks/SUVs are far more fuel efficient than in the 80's/90's. Nobody buys a 20-30 year old truck to save money on gas. My 1991 Ford truck gets a whopping 13 MPG on a GOOD day.
