Actually fun fact, the Lotus cars have much larger wheels so even with 4.5 final drive and 0.815 6th, they spin *slightly* slower on the highway than C56 equipped cars. Only Honda has a more idiotic idea of what a highway cruising gear should be (see Integra GSR, S2000).

Add Fit to that list.
MPG is no good past 45 mph, and 60 is 2800 rpm. In what they call an economy car. It's not quite as bad as the B-series cars but those are meant to be sporty.
