I don't understand why the BMW 128 has 200hp and get (18/26) mpg which is the same as the Z. With almost 120 less horsepower than the Z, i thought the 1 would get better mileage. uhm..

Horsepower alone does not go hand in hand with gas mileage. It's a combination of HP, torque, weight, drivetrain, width tires, etc. You have much to learn and much to research.

Are you talking about me or the general public?

I agree, I was just answering your question wether or not he was talking to you or the general public. You say 5 out of 10, good chance it's more like 7 out of 10
