Imagine what this GE will actually get for lifetime economy. 44mpg, 46mpg... NICE!

They should sell the 1.3 here. I think TheEVILone would pick it up with his current economy

You are right, it's 1339cc, they label it as a 1.4L for marketing purpose I think.
The MPG (converted, we use litres and kilometres) are oficial from Honda, I don't have enough time driving it to see if it's true or not.

We use metric, I did the conversion using 1 Gallon=3,7854118 Litres

This is the engine I have:
L13A i-VTEC
SOHC 16 valve i-VTEC
Displacement: 1,339 cc
Bore x Stroke: 73.0 mm × 80.0 mm
Horsepower: 73 kW (100PS) / 6,000 rpm
Torque: 127N m (13.kg m) / 4,800 rpm


We also have in Argentina the L15A7 (i-VTEC) version but it is too expensive for me, more than $23,600.- the diference are ABS, Disc brakes on the rear wheels, leather seats, auto climate control, 16' wheels, etc.
