Good gas mileage.
Been tracking the mileage for my 2008 Honda Fit since I got her. Averages around 33 mpg. Only dips below 30 mpg in the winter. Or if my driving is mostly residential.
And despite what science and common knowledge says, I get upwards of 37 mpg when I would speed. (80+ mph range. Beyond 85 mph I start feeling unsafe.)
Watch your following range, kids. If you tailgate me, I’ll ease off the gas to troll you. Won’t dip below the posted mph, but if you think you can intimidate a Jersey driver, well.
Nope.

You said that on purpose. (C isn't close to P.)

So we should be hung to the knees. Keep 'em guessing. I have a Nissan Versa.
It's got a CVT transmission - I've gotten 51mpg on the freeway.
Proof!

Enthusiasts hate that transmission, but it is the mileage king.

As you know, I drive stick. I don't think I could handle a CVT. Even when I drove The Van, I could feel the gear transitions. It was a huge improvement to be in full control of the gear, rather than only having the throttle to put her in the gear I wanted.
And no, that semi-auto-manual gearshaft doesn't do it for me. Give me 5 or 6 speeds, a reverse with a click, and a clutch I can press with my left foot.

This comment is oddly sexy, like keeps me guessing. Can my brain make this into a double entendre?! 🤔

Well, I wouldn't be offended. Sometimes a gear shaft is just a gear shaft.
Should I avoid commentary on how I like thick pickles in my mouth? Or a curvy banana? And then there's meatballs. Big, juicy balls made of meat...
