Good quality car, but 24/29 mpg? Weaksauce......I was expecting a lot more.

Bring back the RWD SR2.
Two things are affecting your expectations. First, that is for the 3 speed auto and not the 4 speed slushie or 5 speed manual, both of which do significantly better.

Second, keep in mind the EPA rejiggered how they reach their mileage estimates a few years ago. In the process they went back and lowered them for older cars as well. A 2000 5 speed Corolla is now listed at 27 city/34 highway. It used to be 31 city/38 highway. The 3 speed slushbox from the video used to be 28c/32h. Go look up some of the past cars you view as having been "efficient" and I'll bet they don't live up to your expectations either.
