With fuel prices rising I am very pleased with how efficient the car is with gas. If I decide to take it easy and not use my lead foot, I can get gas mileage that rivals any non-hybrid car of its size. see full Acura RSX review

Acura RSX Real Gas Mileage: Cons

2002 2dr Hatch 200-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD
Around town MPG is unimpressive (around 24) given the extreme lack of torque. The engine is especially gutless below 3000 rpm. I do get 30mpg+ on the highway, though. see full Acura RSX review
