You answer your own questions. Wouldn't it be quite embarrassing if you had a $30,000 V8 mustang cruising around with your girl and got smoked by a festiva?

The only time the EPA rating was better that what I did was when I was driving in the winter running the AC and heater to defrost the windows while going through stop and go traffic or down a bunch of hairpin turns.
