I've seen people get 40 mpg in an xD. They are rated 27/33 with a stick. The Fit is 28/34 with a stick. Interesting considering 19 more HP. But remember, the xD doesn't have to work as hard so it makes it efficient.

Just look at the bigger more powerful Civic and Corolla. They are both rated at 36 mpg highway which seems to go against the logic of smaller engine = more efficiency.

Oh, and the xD's engine is the new '09 Corolla's engine. Nothing to sneeze at.
