I used to own a 1972 Fiat 128. It had 1.1L, weighed 1800 lbs, and I got about 34 MPG with it's 68 HP. Today I drive a 2006 Civic LX with 1.8L, weighing 2700 lbs, and I get about 36 MPG with it's 140 HP. Besides the better mileage, my Civic would run rings around the Fiat. I would love to see what the mileage and performance would be on an 1800 lb Civic, but unless we wish to give up on safety and emission standards that is not going to happen.
Note: I still have the logbook for the Fiat.
