I was looking through one of my old school motor trend magazines and the
1989 Honda CRX is EPA rated at i believe 51 or 52 MPG freeway and like 46MPG city

how come with all this (oh so good) new technology and vtech and all this other stuff
the new civic hybrid is rated at like 40MPG highway i believe and the new insight is like 50 MPG that's not too impressive to me

Is it just me or is that a little confusing?

The older honda's are more fun to drive too
