Right on, Big Dave.
But the notion that the long-range commuter should have to carry four people and four bags is really unfortunate. Most of the miles logged on our highways are done with just the driver, or occasionally one passenger.
Thus, the typical American-style economy cars with four doors, four seats, and four cylinders doesn't meet our actual needs very well. Sadly, I'm only aware of one production car that really lived up to my idea of what a long-range commuter needs to be: the 01-06 Insight. Two seats, three cylinders, excellent aero.
I am looking forward to the Ford Fiesta, but expect mpgs in the 30's, just like most economy cars.
