My Festiva just had its 3rd tank in a row running thru the mountains, over 50MPG! The final Festiva run over the mountains had a total calculated elevation gain & loss of 10,300 feet! Other ups & downs may have pushed the total to 11,000 feet! Recently had new sparkplug wires & timing belt installed. So if your car is a bit low on its MPG & its been 60,000 miles since you replaced wires & timing belt, there is no better time than now to replace these items. Wow!

I've gotten 53MPG with my 4speed loaded down car for a camping vacation. Recently, I had a tank with 3 warmups & went over a 5500 foot mountain pass getting 51.8MPG. Several Festiva owners have gotten 57MPG with the 5 speed. Many Festiva owners have sailed right by 200,000 miles & kept going.

Not a hybrid. Not a electric car. I want a 3 cylinder, 40 mpg (city) gas miser. I want a Suzuki Swift, today. Not a hybrid. Not a electric car. I want a 3 cylinder, 40 mpg (city) gas miser.
