You figure this mileage thing would be cake work by now...look at the early 90s(when coincidentally, gas was .90 cents a gallon) You have the geo metro, CRX and civic in eco models, the toyota paseo, and some others im probably forgetting, all cars that will grab at least 40 mpg avg in pretty normal travel situations. The geo metros didnt even have fuel injection. I cant understand why its now a big deal for a small car to get 30mpg on the highway. It doesnt help that the aerodynamics of modern cars are total crap, put aside for "style"
