Back in the early to mid nieties I had an 84 Honda Civic hatch that had a 1.3 liter and a four speed. It even had a blank-out plug over the cigarette lighter! But it routinely got over 50mpg highway and well over 40 in the city. So I dont really get the big deal over the Prius or any of the other hybrids. They are still about the same mpg as an 84 civic.
