I'm disappointed that the "fuel efficient" cars now don't get the mileage of the fuel efficient cars 20 years ago. Seems like we should be able to do better. 25-30 really isn't that great. The Smart is a big let down. Doesn't even get what a CRX used to.
TDI is the way to go, even if diesel does cost 50 cents more or so. My well used 86 Golf diesel used to get 52 mpg.
Compacts should get 35mpg+ easily.
Overall I'm happy with my DD's mileage (Lotus) as for the level of performance the car gives, the mileage is still good. Other manufactures need to rediscover light weight.
