candidate cars

Local car critic Ed Wallace road tested the Scion IQ for a week.While at Cd 0.31 (impressive for a car this length) he was only able to pull 42 mpg on the highway.
'Tail-less' cars like the IQ,Smart Car EV,and Mitsubishi i-MiEV might be good candidates for an RXT on out of town trips.
