Agree. I had a 1998 Dodge Neon Sport with a 2.0L DOHC 4cyl and 150hp that got a legitimate 32mpg. It was also snappy, quick and never left me wanting for more power. It didn't even care how hard you drove it, it still gave you great gas mileage.

I've never understood what the big deal is with the Hybrids, as you said, they don't do much better than other small cars.

The worst is the Smart car though. They're outrageously expensive, tiny, scary, and don't even manage to get great gas mileage.
