I had a 91 Dodge Colt that regularly got well over 40mpg, small 4 cyl and a 4speed....and that was with the ac running, however, it was substantially lighter than the civics of today. An older lady turned left in front of me and I hit her at about 25mph, thought I was going to die(was wearing my seatblet), but the car did really well structurally although her insurance company totaled it.
