All the low MPG cars have the priviledge of being labeled "Gas Guzzlers".
These ratings now include a fudge factor of 10% city and 22% highway,
artificially lowering the MPG ratings in some cases.  For example, the
Saab Turbo (5sp) is rated 20 city and 26 highway, while I usually get 24
city and 30 highway, averaging 26 overall.
