Which is a HUGE lie, so now i cant stand him.

I want a CRX HF ~50 MPG
Umm... Are you saying that out automotive engineers are making engines less efficient. If an newer SUV that gets 20 MPG weighed as much as a CRX it would likely get 50 mpg because it would have to work less to push the weight. You cannot say that we havent made leaps from the days of the Pinto and other gas hoggers.
