An old Reliant will net you 75mpg and hold 4 people just as well as a fiesta will. That's with a gas engine too!
Right, I drive around in town in my STI and I feel like I'm at a race track. People speeding like crazy just to get up to 35-40mph. I don't understand it.

I go the speed limit and most of the time I drive conservativly. Slow into the gas up to 3k shift, I run 4th and 5th gear for in town driving(6spd gear ratios).

People need to just slow down.
