True enough. I used to have a major advantage over all the fuel-miserly econoboxes. Now, between my Golf TDI and a 35-mpg Fit or Yaris, the fuel cost per mile is practically the same.

And in July and August, when my fuel mileage usually goes to [censored], I'll be paying at least 1-2 cents more per mile... unless gas prices go a lot higher.

Friend's 1999 Saturn SL 1.9 gets 45 mpg. This is the single overhead cam version.
