Oh No! Watch out for the women folk and put the live stock in the barn... Wild Bill the rooster woke up with a woody. You've been thinking about that 48 Plymouth fastback with huge back seat again.... Yep that is what got you going.

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.
