I wish they'd import more low-consumption vehicles into the us; If I could get a lupo with the 1.2L 3-cylinder engine in this country, I'd sell every computer I own to get one and replace them using the money I'd save on gas in the first year alone. 78mpg sounds _great_ to me; so why are these cars unavailable here?
Ok, just to be not-so-off-topic: I'm glad you are keeping it Red. You can buy things back later, but not your work. This is the important part.
We have a nice solution here. You can buy a light weight alcohol powered 1 liter engine car (like a Fiat Mille or Chevrolet Celta) that does something close to 20 Kilometers per liter (take you HP calculator and convert to Mpg. I always have to do the reverse way :-D ). I really believe americans would hate the performance of 1 liter engines (we do), but we use to say that this is the best thing you can have for a daily driver
Alcohol is cheaper, less pollutive, and gives you more horsepower (Ok, you will have some cold start headaches in winter....). Unfortunately, my car has a gasoline engine :-?
