chevy cruz is coming out soon and it's boasting 40. due largely to what german car's have been doing for about 20 years...putting splash shields under the car, closing the ducts to the radiator at highway speeds, lower ride height and aerodynamic reductions...

And more importantly, a 6-speed auto. That tall 6th gear is critical to such highway mileage.

Almost every car line has cars in diesel versions overseas that get way over 40mpg I just wish one day we could get them over here.
