So make sure you laugh at one if you see one on the highway!!
And yet a new FG can use less on the hwy. Then more in town obviously...
Now if you were only doing country driving which would you choose?
Most small cars use around 7 or 8 on the hwy. No better than a falcon.
I drive a new Hyundai Elantra that does this. I have driven new corollas that do too.
And yet a falcon does just as well.
It all depends on the driving you do.
City cars for city people, if you do longer commutes like geelong to melbourne, a small car is of no help.

Yes alot of companies are starting to work this out, they put their reps in smaller cars like Corrolla wagons etc and got worse fuel then having them in falcons... Running costs were also higher with fwd tyres wearing out etc.
