We currently have two cars: A Honda Civic Hybrid and a BMW Z4. The Honda averages about 38 to 40 MPG in mixed city / rural driving and up to 42 MPG highway. The BMW averages 21.5 mixed but 35 to 38 highway. We live in a hilly area - our driveway has a 200' elevation change over 1400'.
I will be using the Elio as a daily commuter (30 mi. round trip) and expect to use 1/3 to 1/4 as much fuel as I currently do with the BMW.
In the winter, the Honda will only make it up the driveway with chains on. The BMW can't. I expect that the Elio would be able to make it, with chains.

Luckily, it doesn't snow much here.
