Now you'll have a lot of Si owners thinking that maybe they bought a
car for idiots...

I've not (nor would I call one a box), but I am getting curious now,
after seeing that a guy was able to get 168 Mpg out of one... ;)

I have a 2007 Prius shitbox, and I love it.

I also have a 2006 Accord and a 2005 Pilot. But I am averaging 55mpg for my
commuting.

There was a segment on Good Morning America yesterday. There is a group of
guys in (IIRC) So Cal that have competitions for best mileage. They break
a number of safety rules to get there, of course, and probably cost
themselves more in tires and such than they save in gas, but it was at
least interesting...

Well, its design does allow strange driving techniques to get good
mileage.

What's most interesting is that its design allows NORMAL people driving
NORMALLY using the SAME driving methods they've always used, to realize
huge gains in gas mileage.
