This is Chryslers most fuel efficient car right now isnt it? The caliber replaced the neon and only is rated 29 highway, Neons were what, 38 or so?

The Caliber edges out the Avenger/Sebring in the city category.
Not replacing the Neon with something similar was a gigantic error on Chrysler's part. A 1.8L in either transmission would be a great combo for the little sedan. So, for the populace (since most drive automatics), the 1.8 isn't available for the Caliber automatic...
The old numbers were in the high 30's. Adjusted for the new EPA testing, here are the numbers for the old Neon (City/Highway; Combined Cycle):
2.0L Manual_____
25/33; Combined =
28
2.0L Automatic___
22/29; Combined =
25
Caliber 2WD --
1.8L Manual____
24/29; Combined =
