Most people that don't understand these cars or know how to drive them, and put oversized cheap tires and drive without the IMA won't get better than 40.

I don't even understand how you can get 36 mpg in it and not want to just get rid of it. Seriously, what's the use of a 2-seater 70hp car that doesn't even get good gas mileage? Maybe because the other hybrid they were driving was only getting 23-24?
Mine had 52 lifetime when I bought it, but the car couldn't stay in lean burn. Still, this car was the first I've ever owned with a standard transmission, has a weak battery, couldn't get into lean burn, I had only owned it for two weeks, and I was still getting 62mpg on the FCD. The guy who owned it before me had it for over five years. I just don't understand how it's even possible to get less than 50mpg in this car. It gets 50mpg when I'm going uphill.
