I got 43.1 mpg in my Honda Fit last week. Not hybrid.
Toyota Yaris HB...1.5L 5-speed...rated at 36mg hwy.
Folks at Yarisworld.com are reporting mpg ratings of 40-45.
$11,350 base price...cheapest, except for smartcar & uses 87 octane.
A straight gas motor, not hybrid.
Does not feel like a small car, handles well and has lots of room.
They seem to be flying off the lots.
Every dealership we’ve been to kept the cars way in the very back of the back lot. Not one had one up front.
Set to pick up mine on Thursday...fingers crossed.
14k out the door, with power windows, locks & mirrors, rear defrog, frog lamps, keyless entry.
Beats the 15mpg that my quadcab hemi is getting and should be excellent as a commuter car.
7K pounds, is a lot of money to pay for a less that .5 gal difference.
I’d lost to a Beemer and I was disappointed; I had never driven so slowly or carefully for so long in my life. I’m considering buying a V8 Range Rover and opening my own oil well in protest.
I got a good chuckle from these last couple sentences.
yes, but can we get the bmw in america.

When I was young and foolish and drunk, I once drove a saloon.
Those swinging doors do get rather tricky when driving the saloon drunk.
A choice between a tiny gay looking Prius or a manly BMW which doesn’t reuire a metrosexual behind the wheel........
I like to think of the free market like nature, if we leave it alone, it will find a way to correct itself. It is when we get involved that all things get screwed up.
I’ll take a BMW any day. Just wish the parts weren’t so expensive in the U. S.
(Had over 318,000 miles on my 1984 BMW when I finally sold it! What a car!)
Hybrids - Further proof that PT Barnum was right!
