Toyota posted a 22.8 mpg average for its 2007 vehicles compared with 22.4 mpg the previous year. Toyota's gas-electric Prius hybrid had the highest combined fuel economy of any passenger car with 46.2 mpg."

A whopping 22mpg???
My 89 Civic hatch got 37mpg, and a Geo Metro got over 50mpg highway. The freakin' ModelT got 25mpg!
Build it and they will come. "They" aren't building it, or allowed to import it.
I think that's the average across the entire range of models, not just for a specific car.
