Wow, makes me want to move but my Husky wouldn't like it :\ I think here they use a mix of dirt and salt maybe funded by the big 3 to make cars rust asap? Just kidding on the conspiracy part.
I knew cars rusted worse here but thought they still rusted more then that.
No matter what I end up with I'm still curious as to the efficiency of the different motors. do they WOT for EPA highway testing? I quick search on Honda Fit showed much better then 28 city 33 highway. And my 89 Si only gets 30 highway according to them.... Worst I've gotten is 32 in the winter for a whole tank with work only being 6 miles away so plenty of driving spent not warmed up. I don't hypermile or pump up the tires (had one blow when hit a pothole plus harder on suspension,) just coast before stops and accelerate gently.
