Traded xA for tC (review and comparison)

My main point is that the mpg aren't THAT bad for a car. . . but for a car that size and with a motor that small with a hp rating that low, it's disappointing. Like I said, a BMW 330ci can maintian 30mpg at 80mph. . . and I've seen it done. But I'm very surprised that you've gotten up to 37. It's very uncommon for Toyota's to ever hit their full EPA rating. Maybe it has something to do with CA gas? I dunno. . .
You spend 5 hours a day in your car too???? What do you do? Are you in outside sales as well?
