Safety and environmental shit. The CRX was just under 2000 lbs and didnt have to meet stringent zero emmissions rules. The honda fit which is pretty much just a modern hatchback version of the CRX weights 2500lbs and gets real world MPG somewhere between 34 and 39 mpg. Thats on a 30 year younger design
