if you want to spend a bit mroe on a beater you can look into the malibu, impala, and monte carlo. all have base prices below 22k and are rated above at 31mpg or better on the hgihway.
all of these cars also have the GM 100k mile powertrain warranty and a 5yr/60k bumper to bumper.

I like the Cobalt, but I'm talkin' as CHEEP! CHEEP! CHEEP! as possible. If there is a stripper Aveo available, I'd take it!
The 'Bu, MC, and Impy are too high line for me @ this point.
