I've had a car that was averaging 5 based on the dash display. Got grief from my wife when she saw that. I've never kept track of fuel economy.

We went to Las Vegas in it. I was lodged into the passenger seat and could not move my feet. The obnoxious vibration made my feet numb and eventually painful. When I got out I couldn't feel them and had trouble walking. Unlike anything I ever experienced in any other car.
We went to watch a motocross race and he had too many beers so I was designated driver. He warned me to turn off the a/c and be very careful before pulling out in traffic. He was not joking, OMG. What a slug. At least while driving it I could move my feet around.

40 is very high for a gasoline car. My friend had a VW Rabbit Diesel Pickup. 50 mpg and 50 horsepower.

It accelerated well, I mean highway 40 miles to the gallon. When I drove it from VA to CA that’s what I was averaging.

Pepe Le Pew. Looking a little better. Pedals were a PITA to get off. Way over torqued IMO, but what do I know.

I think you can hit 40 in a Geo Metro if you don't drive it too spicy

A 3 cylinder Metro? Yeah, 40 should be easy with one of them. A guy at work was putting an engine in one and the short block comes in a cardboard box and weighs 45 pounds. The parts department hands it to you over the counter.

Seems like 50 is possible if you're really good, but my memory isn't that good, and I never drove one personally

I used to keep a mini notepad in the glovebox to track fuel and mileage, BITD.
