Going slow. My only performance mods are a grill block, WAI, and tires inflated to sidewall max. The rest comes from modifying the nut behind the wheel.
The Soul and 1G xB MTs have identical '08 EPA estimates of 26 city, 31 highway, IIRC, and the Cube trails them with poorer city estimates, but the same 31 mpg highway. I considered all three, but the Cube wasn't out, and a new Soul was a lot pricier than a used xB. I sure would like a 6th gear for highway use. My xB buzzes at 3000 rpm @ 60 mph.
