Your friend could probably make a CRX get 10 mpg too.
Hell, I didn't even get that bad of mileage in my Si going 100+ at nearly redline... IIRC, cruising at 65-70 on the highway was like 4k RPM.(Si/ZC hybrid tranny - shortest gears you can get, and stupid short for anything really usable. You spend too much time shifting, IMO.)
