    I'll bet the US Fit weighs 600 pounds more than the Filipino Jazz with all of it's US-spec safety, comfort, convenience, and emissions equipment.

    It is also worth noting that places 3-6 are a four-way tie.

    Not sure what you mean. According to my fuel consumption display, I have been getting similar results this past week driving at speeds of 50 to 55 mph.

    And so far my knees are fine.

    Do you think he should be doing better?

    50mph steady state (never clutchingg) appears too net about 53-56mpg-ish without a/c. Trying too shadow someone without getting too close, or far away, He must have been on/off that clutch a thousand times to hit 61 with a/c full blast.

    I think Mitsubishi picked the right man for the job. Did better than most of us would've im sure, myself included.

    The Jazz is a fairly popular and, by Malaysian standards, expensive car. It is more loaded down with options than the Fits we get in the US, including plenty of safety features. I can't speak to what's sold in the Philippines, but I've ridden in at least a half dozen Malaysian Jazz and I'm quite sure what they get in there weighs the same, if not more, than what we receive here as the Fit.

    i'd be curious to see this list with the price of the car listed as well. I imagine a couple of those cars will seem very impressive, and a couple might lose their luster.
