I understand what you are saying, but for the sake of having a nerd moment, I'll point out that all changes in velocity are considered acceleration. The application of the brake pedal can accelerate you away from an approaching vehicle, for example. Weird to think of it that way when we are used to thinking in terms of the fictional word "deceleration", as if it goes against acceleration. Both pedals are technically "accelerator" pedals, but I don't recommend using the term when you want to warn a driver about an impending collision. Having this discussion with people will also have them thinking "this guy is clearly an idiot".
Don't even get me started on how there is no such thing as dark, or cold...
and back to the OP, the MPG figures for both cars is impressive.
I'm considering a used Elantra to replace my Mom's Camry. Does anyone else have suggestions for a Camry replacement?
