Modern fuel economy rules give allowed MPG by wheelbase and track width. If you put in a thirsty engine, you HAVE to make a long wheel base and wide track. The rules are designed to give trucks leeway due to their larger size and power needs to do their jobs. It also means low MPG production luxery cars with big motors have to go to truck sized proportions.
