The 1.8 model is a doozy to hypermile on the highway (highest I've gotten was around 36 km/l), the gasoline engine can stay off longer at speed, and the new electric motor is more powerful.

Still, the 1.5 liter car is just so damn good in traffic... it's nigglingly difficult to get it below 20 km/l in city driving, and it averages well over that on the highway... though I'm absolutely boggled by that guy who got over 50 km/l... that's some insanely good hypermiling!
