Insurance rates depends more on location then anything... I was 21/22 paying 215 p/m on full coverage with 100/300 limits... Esurance rocks! lol...

As far as gas milage; tell them whatever is on the window sticker - I don't think it's over 20mpg, lol.. I know personally I got about 15-18mpg on my ported blower Cobra... depending on the highway, cruise control, my head.... etc.

I will second what xxkazp3rxx says about esurace. I just got an 03 termi when I was 23 and I have clean record and my insurance is about 140 monthly on full coverage with 100/300 limits.
As far as gas mileage, if you drive moderately you should get 18 to 19 between city and highway. It's just hard not to drive it like you stole it.
