Yaris vs. Aveo: The Real Competitor - Toyota Yaris Forums

This may be just a touch off topic, but have you noticed how the fuel efficiency for economy cars seems to have actually decreased across the board over the past decade? Toyota seems to be the only brand capable of really pulling off impressive mpg with a small engine anymore. The Honda Civics still have high marks, but the Fit, which you would expect to be awesome ni that department, actually gets fewer mpg. Very strange. Makes it hard to shop, when mpg and price are your two main objectives.

Well, weight is the enemy of MPG, right? It seems like the car companies are afraid to keep their cars light (think Honda CRX or Geo Metro)... they believe that Americans won't buy anything "less than substantial." So poundage is added, and MPG suffers.
