Yup. Here is a comparison of the car's new EPA MPG with manual transmissions :

2007 Honda Fit 1.5 liter 4 cylinder
http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/calcu...umn=1&id=22861

28/34 => 31

2007 Toyota Matrix 1.8 liter 4 cylinder
http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/calcu...umn=1&id=23628

26/33 => 29

2007 Pontiac Vibe 1.8 liter 4 cylinder
http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/calcu...umn=1&id=23622

26/33 => 29

The Fit weighs 2,432 lbs. The base Vibe is 2,856 lbs, so 400+ lbs more.

The 2008 Vibe is actually 1 MPG less highway, so maybe the combined MPG is closer to 28, .
