[diesel_mercedes] Re: Where has all the mileage gone, long time passing?

 

I agree, we should be doing better.
I had an 96 Geo Metro, it was the luxury addition, it had the gas eating 13" wheels instead of the 12".
I continually got 44-47 MPG and never under 41 when the abusing the little 3 cylinder, and 49 when being conservitive.
Now you have the Chevy Aveo, and it gets 33 Highway (Sticker).

So....we were able to generate that kind of economy 30 years ago, but there is almost nothing out there that can beat the fuel economy of a three decade old car design.
