Based on annual U.S. CAFE standards that is not true at all.
It would be interesting to see what percentage of all new passenger vehicles sold are those "big SUV and Pick-Up Trucks" in comparison to the number of licensed vehicles sold in total per year for say the last 10 years. Also would be interesting to see the minimum average required mpg for "big SUV and Pick-Up Trucks" vs. a function of their gross weight, as sold new over the last 10 years by year...
I'm sure the usual increase in population and licensed drivers has NOTHING to do with it though...
