It went out the window, when we chose to drive street-legal AWD rally cars with 2.0l turbocharged engines capable of pumping out 200HP/liter with a few well-chosen key strokes. If you want to a car with decent fuel economy, this ain't it. If you want to save fuel, this ain't it. If you want to have a well-performing car while saving fuel, this ain't it. Plenty of other choices on the market. Good luck.

Little DSM secret - your first mod should be a Civic daily driver. And your second mod should be a AAA card.
