Amen to that. Very True.
We shouldn't be bragging about 20 mpg either. That's pathetic. We all know these manufacturers could be doing much better with gas mileage on large SUV's and trucks. Didn't we do this gas price problem back in, oh, '73 or so?? Most of these large trucks are still in the teens for mileage. You'd think after 30 years of technology, they could at least get 25 mpg on average on the freeway.
Sorry for the commentary. No flames or offense intended to anyone.
