And this part is overdue for a change, too! --

Honda no longer makes the Civic HX; Toyota no longer sells the Echo in the
U.S. However, the regular automatic Civic has an EPA of 40, and the manual
transmission Corolla has an EPA of 41 (both highway). You might also mention
the Civic GX that's now available for sale to individual consumers (not just
for fleets anymore!).
