Here on the west coast in Canada, the cost of regular fuel is over $6 per gallon. Prices are expectd to last well into summer.
At this rate, i don't think the electric/hybrid car sales can keep up with demand (there's expected to be a shortage of vehicles until 2023-2024)
As a result, small vehicles with small displacement engines are going to become far more valuable than they've ever been.

 

Update to the 2 year chart I posted...

 

Yeah. Echoing what many have said already. With Ford out of the small car business and the other companies reducing their small car production, Honda should be able to ramp up as they only just shut down production lines. With years of cheap gas and people buying trucks they don't need, the new prices should spur a lot of interest in high mpg cars again.
I'm still over 37 mpg on my 2010. My wife has a 2018 Toyota Camry and is getting near 44 mpg. The shock of high prices affects us much less than my friends with 12-17 mpg trucks.

 

The Accord Hybrid gets better mileage in city stop and go use than it does on the highway which is backwards from most vehicles. 49 city and 47 highway IIRC. The battery is very small and limited to less than 3 miles at highway speeds so the gas engine kicks in to charge the battery while propelling the car. We had a 2017 Acc Hybrid for three years. I never reset the A trip meter and it averaged 48 mpg over 22,000 miles use. I thought that amazing for a 3600 lbs sedan with all the options. One time I tried hyper miling a 36 mile round trip on city streets and got 62 mpg city.

 

Time to get a first gen Insight and go for that sweet 100mpg.

 

We can only hope.


. Wouldn't it be awesome if they just kept making the gk5 for the next 10 years!?

I, for one, would build a fleet to last the remainder of my years living.
