My wife and I recently bought two Chevy Prizms. These are basically Toyota corollas with a domestic nameplate. We easily average in the high 30 MPG's with the air conditioner running almost always. I am NOT known for my miserly driving style. I find 40 a very believable number. Of course, I don't go looking for Mustangs or Ferraris to race, either.

"40 MPG" I would have to see your gas receipts and mileage figures. RF Jim -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
