I enjoyed the car well enough. You sit kinda high, and the thought occurred to me it might be high as a marketing technique for people who test drive small cars but feel nervous about being low down to the ground after their last SUV.
Unfortunately, I could not get the fuel gauges to work properly and had too little time (schedule pressures) to figure it out. But by the ODO/pump I got 141.1 miles out of 2.588 gals for 54.52 mpg. That was mostly highway and with moderate hypermiling, such as 60 mph in a 65 speed zone and engine on neutral coast whenever possible. I shut the engine off at lights about half the time.
It crosses 2000 rpms at 45mph and cruises at about 2500 at 60.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
