I thought that was supposed to be around 50-60mpg. That’s what I think of when I imagine 200hp/60mpg the polo bluemotion is around 75hp/80mpg and the golf is 105hp/70mpg, the bluesport roadster prototype is expected to weigh in at 180hp/55mpg Not sure about the specs on the BMW.

$35K tops. Difference between 20MPG and 60MPG is likely to be end up around $1000 a year in savings (more as gas price goes up), if its your only car. So the price has to be comparative (with the above savings in mind) to a fun daily hatch with 200hp that only gets ~20mpg. ---

Honda needs to stop being a bunch of cockgobblers and get a diesel over here so i can stop driving shit volkswagens. Agreed, I was really looking forward to their 2.2 turbodiesel. Would be awesome to swap that into an older car as well. But how about 220hp and 50+mpg? Take honda insight, rip out hybrid shit, install K20A. ??? Profit! ---

I think my fit was around 2450 and my rsx is 2620 and they aren’t big cars. It’s crazy how heavy cars have gotten. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/200hp-and-60mpg/264916.md?page=1)
