In 1984, Honda's CRX 1.5 hatchback made an astonishing 67 mpg highway, and 51 mpg in the city.

Yet, 20 years later they cannot do any better.

Why?

Emissions, HP???

The current Hybrids always hit me as lack-luster.

Don't need any conspiracy theories. It's simple. That 84 Honda didn't have to carry around 17" wheels, A/C, power everything, 36 airbags, and run the quarter in 16 sec. or less.
