Worst - my Vauxhall Ventora, 3.3 litres, six cylinders, which was my first car in 1980 (well, it's hard to be young and sensible at the same time...). It did nearly 18mpg on a good day, and about a gallon of the cheapest oil you could find every fortnight. It was fun to drive though, and the oil smoke from the twin exhausts did a good impression of a Saturn 5 rocket when you put your foot down.
Best - that's a hard one. I loved my BMW 323i (new in 1999) which I ran for three years. Silky smooth and extremely reliable. I love my current Volvo S80 (new in 2005). Not as smooth as the BMW (the Volvo's a D5) but it's a very good drive, and with the manual box is very economic in fuel - service costs not so great though.
