Hey, I was always curious why Honda owners think their cars are "the most economical" for fuel consumption:








I see all their bull**** commercials as "the most fuel efficient car company"
ORLY, not according to the EPA who divvies out the ratings

I'm sorry, I hate the hype that Honda spews.

the commercials say "most fuel efficient car company in america" because they only make 1 pickup truck. toyota has the tundra, the tacoma, the FJ Cruiser, the land cruise.

Honda may have the highest fuel mileage of any company because its a total average of all the cars they make.

i think Tesla is the most fuel efficient automaker...lol

You're right Honda can't make a real truck, engines lack on torque, at least IMAO. But doesn't Toyota have a larger lineup up cars, trucks, and SUV's?
So compare them head to head where they compete.

The insight isn't in production anymore, whycome? In my town we have some steep grades comprable to San Francisco, and in the winter, the Insights couldn't make it up the hills in some of the towns here.
