I suppose if you just do short electric powered around town stuff you too could get 70 mpg with over 40 average on the road. My other auto is a .45 The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory

It looks like a midget mobile even next to a Honda Ridgeline. I sat in the Lariat , would not wish that on anyone on a long trip.
