Ford Fiesta: 40 mpg Hwy - Toyota Yaris Forums

And although you could get cars with 50+ MPGs in the 1980s, I'd much rather be in a crash in my 30 MPG Yaris vs. a 53 MPG Chevy Sprint.

However, it does speak to two things: 1) Our want for power and 2) Our lack of diesel options. Nowadays, if a car doesn't have 100 hp, it's nearly an impossible sell, regardless of mileage.

And we would have hostile foreign governments and the oil companies on their knees if we made a religion out of conservation.
