Those Fits look pretty nice, though...I like the sporty model with 5-speed.

When I owned a Geo Metro I think I was averaging around 38-42 MPG depending on if I was in city or doing a long drive. And that was back in about 1994. Not sure why 15 years later 30 MPG is the bragging gas mileage when I got much better back in the day.
Granted that 3 cylinder car had less horsepower than my lawnmower but still it was a great car for gas mileage and until I got my MINI Cooper, the best car I owned in the snow.
Now I own a MINI and am happy with my 24 MPG. The "only" 24 MPG is because the supercharger sports model is heavy and fast. And I drive it like that.
