When you thought 39.4 MPG on a 500 mile highway trip was good for a mid size 4 cyl hybrid camry sedan. The standard 4 cyl Honda Accord or Acura TSX would get mid 30s (34-36) while nicer Acura TL with V6 power would get low 30s. Now the Fit pic at 50+ mpg is impressive.
I at least came forward with a real measurement. When you present some form of something other than anecdote, I'll be happy to look at it. Assuming that the EPA ratings are inaccurate, but probably inaccurate by similar amounts, here they are for everyone's info: (c/h)
Hybrid Camry: 33/34
I-4 Conventional Camry: 22/33
V-6 Conventional Camry: 19/28
Acura TL (all V-6): 18/26
Acura RSX I-4: 20/28
Acrua RSX V-6: 18/27
Need I say more.
