It's entirely up to you. You could say that "important" would add, say
7 points to the relative importance of fuel economy, while
"unimportant" would not change that weight. Or, you could rewrite the
question to something like, "On a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being
absolutely unimportant and 10 being extremely important), how important
is fuel economy to you?" and put a <SELECT> menu next to it.
