I like both cars and could have purchased either one myself, but I recommend that we ignore the manufacturers' FE claims, or at least take them with multiple grains of salt. The numbers are typically based on the federal government NHTSA FE test which has well known problems correlating to modern real-world use and is being significantly revised soon.
