Should i look at selling my Festiva to buy a VX or HX? If so which of the 2 is better?
I didn't have the crappy commute you must have, but eventually I was averaging way over 50 mpg in my old 1993 Festiva-L. I had a blast driving Black Widow, and it was super easy to work on and hypermile in.
That's super-low mpg for that car, maybe your timing belt slipped a tooth. Mine did that and ran a tiny bit funky (almost unnoticeable) but it killed my mpg. As soon as I re-timed it the mpg shot back up.
