I hear that, I still don't understand why american auto makers don't come out with an affordable , decently equiped, and reasonably powerful car that gets 40 mpg?? The technology is there, hell back in the late 80s Subaru made a small car called the Justy which they have since stopped exporting to the US. Anyway the fuel injected later versions of this car came with a 5 speed and you could get 4 wheel drive if you wanted, shift on the fly too. I had three of these cars in the last 15 years, my 1988 4 wheel drive Justy got 36 around town and about 41-43 on the highway depending on how fast i drove it. Loved those cars, they are very hard to find now, especially with low mileage. My point though , getting back to it is, American auto makers would make a killing i think if they offered a similar type car to the Justy. Although small you could pack a lot of stuff in it. A slightly bigger car would be perfect this present day, there is no reason why US auto makers can't make a car that gets at least 35 around town and over 40 mpg on the highway. Just my opinion of course. If anyone knows of a decent Subaru Justy, preferably the 4 wheel drive version any where near Ma. drop me a PM...lol. Would love to pick up another one.

Well, I paid $1.89 today...I'm glad it's still under $2.00 so I'm not complaining, yet ;)

just noticed you said US automakers.

I think the big 3 are still hell bent on trucks and SUVs and power. The Colbalt SS and Solstice are the only cars I know of that are affordable, and have plenty of go-fast with not so much sippage from the tank.

the corvette still gets over 20 MPG...but not affordable.
