SRT, I had a new '74 Honda Civic followed by a '79. Basically the same, just a different color. No auto tranny, no ac, nada. They both gave me a bit less than 35 mpg for a while, but that soon dropped to upper 20s. That was in an 18 mile commute on a highway with the last about four miles in city traffic. Both engines crapped at 50k, even though the valves were properly maintained. Couldn't believe it. I thought the first failure was a fluke.
Anyway, nothing has changed a lot. You can get a little bigger, more comfortable ride today with similar or better mileage. But when I think of what I have to give up in comfort and safety for my family when I drop from, say, an Expedition or large pickup, to a Altima, which I've rented many times when I was still working, well, it's just not worth the extra few MPGs to me.
It's a matter of personal choice, IMO.
