sends a mixed-message, vw certainly can't be trying to say that's a fairly calculated price.
The Honda Fit doesn't even get 50 MPG. Not sure where you get a figure of 135 MPG from. There's not a single car in the US that does has those ratings.

Though I am happy get 55+ mpg in my Prius. Toyota has the best Hybrid technology, followed by Ford. NO ONE is getting 135 MPG.

Edit: The Honda Fit doesn't even get 30 MPG with 4 cyl and a manual transmission:

2013 Honda Fit 4 cyl, 1.5 L, Manual 5-spd, Regular Gasoline. 2013 Honda Fit, 27. City. 29.
