I remember back in the early 90's Honda made a version of the CRX that had a designation of HF. Those were advertised to get around 50 mpg or something like that. It had the same chassis as all the other CRX models and only ran on gasoline (not a hybrid or electric engine). I'm surprised that they haven't brought it back. The market for it wasn't all that hot back then because gas was relatively cheap so it wasn't a big deal but nowadays...



Was just reading up on these things, and they're saying 43 in the CITY and 68 on the Highway. That's probably about as good as the Prius, except that you don't have to worry about replacing 400 lbs worth of batteries when they die! And the dealerships in Germany are a hoot too. Don't know if they'll do that here, but it is a 4 or 5 story glass tower that has an elevator in the middle. The cars are visible from the outside on each floor and you just tell them which one, the elevator goes up, loads it from it's slot and brings it back down.(and no, I didn't see a slot for the quarters to get the cars out of the gumball machine....)
