Drbes, mmm, last Friday my wife bought herself a very small but new car (Daihatsu Cuore) that does 60 mpg at 75mph. Gazoline prices are $5.20 a gallon (for 95 lead free) over here, and additionally the government taxes cars based on their weight. She's very happy with it and I'm happy too.

Still 32mpg is absolutely amazing for that gorgeous monster.

Regards,

Rink

Darbes,

the really amazing thing is that at a sustained 65 mph through the Pennsylvania mountains it achieved an overall average of 32 mpg over a 400 mile range...i love it

In the highest gear, the RPM must be just slightly above idle...
