For its size, I do think the NB is a gas guzzler. I'm lucky if I get 22-23 mpg. Think about back in the 80s. Gas crisis comes along, the government forces better gas mileage standards. Lots of cars were getting better and better gas mileage back then.
Here we are 30 years later, and a little car the size of the NB gets what it gets. Granted, it's heavier than the small cars back then. But still. With 30 years of advancements, you'd think they could do better.
