23/28 mpg? Big freaking deal! I have a 94 Lexus ES with 168,000 miles
on it, and--using Shell 93 octane--I get 24mpg city and 29mpg highway.
We are not amused.

I am. Probably they got gearing right. Huge selling point for me. Civic
Si I'm considering
is no better gas guzzling wise. That's acceptable for me. Many more
cars do much worse.

The funny thing is that I'm not overly concerned with mpg that much; I
only drive 5-6k/year. I really wanted the Fit because it was a cheap
way to get a reliable new car with the space that I want.
So I keep the 91 Accord another year or two. I just spent $1000 to do
the timing belt and take care of the oil in the sparkplugs.
Essentially it was the Honda 90k service plus a little more. It took
$80 at the cheap muffler place to take care of that, and for another
$300 or so I can likely fix all the other annoyances that have crept
up over time. All except the rust.
And maybe in a year or two I can pick up a nice used Fit.
