"The xB is no autobahn stormer. For our "War of the Worlds" comparo, I took the saddle of the four-wheeled cube and attempted to keep pace with three thoroughbreds on a drive from Los Angeles to Kingman, Arizona, t was not successful. The four-speed became a liability at speed, either buzzing redline in third or tugging in fourth. During our blast across Arizona, the xB drank three-fourths of a tank while the ZR1 consumed a half tank. A quick calculation, however, showed the xB returned 18.3 mpg. Impressive, considering the payload of testing and photo equipment stuffed into the back."
