Except for tiny cars (which I happen to like) I do not see very many
cars getting 30 mpg or better.

>From personal observation or trusted sources:
1970 Triumph GT6+ (my first new
car) = 30 mpg highway @ 70 mph
2000 Buick Century (3.1 L V6) = 30
mpg highway @ 70 mph
2001 Buick Century (3.1 L V6) = 30
mpg highway @ 70 mph
2002 Chevrolet Malibu (2.4? L 4
cyl) = 32 mpg highway @ 65 mph
2009 Mini Cooper S (1.7 L Turbo 4
cyl) = 36 + mpg highway @ 75 mph
These are real world (NOT EPA) figures from cars that I or friends
own(ed) . All but the GT6+ benefit from computerized engine management
systems and multi port fuel injection. And the Mini is "small" but not
"tiny" as there is as much room in the front seats as a Ford Taurus (the
back seat, not so much.)
