Hello,

The two things working against the xB vs the Echo, is gearing (at highway speeds, the revs are high, right?) and the aerodynamics are probably the most important thing by far. Compare my xA to the Echo, and the largest difference is probably gearing -- my best MPG is 46.69 -- and that is with some aero mods...
