From: http://www.canadiandriver.com/news/030214-2.htmMid-Size Pontiac Vibe and Toyota Corolla Matrix, 1.8 L, 4-cylinder, 5-speed manual Fuel consumption: city 7.7 L/100 km (37 mi/gal); highway 6.0 L/100 km (47 mi/gal) Annual fuel cost: $929 Annual fuel use: 1,387 L We are thrifty people! Oddly the Ford Focus is thirstier in the City and wins the Station Wagon category. Does that settle the "Is the Vibe a Station Wagon question"?

And be smooth with the accelerator... Here's a post I made about this award to the Vibe: http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id ... 1690#21690 And don't forget these testings are made on very good conditions.
