could be true. everyone i know with 2.0 cars get 6-8 city. maswerte na maka 9. 10-11 sa highway.

my two 1.6 civics of different generations consistently get 10-11 city. 12 sa highway or so (actually parang 11... i forget).

pagdating sa midsize/executive class cars dito, buy-in cost into the "elite" club is small... pero pagdating sa running costs at associated maintenance expenses... well, medyo madugo. that's probably the price you pay for the extra soft ride, power and luxury.

simply put... you cant have a big engine and pay small engine costs... that would never happen.
