let me rephrase.
When have manufactorers ever tried to have peak mpgs?
just about every single car could benefit by doing something to it to help it achieve better fuel economy. My Escape hybrid achieves much of its fuel savings due to the CVT, not the battery.
One of the guys in eurowerks got 42+ with his 92 probe. (rated 28 hwy) that's a 50% improvement.
If mpgs were so important, why are trucks still aerodynamically challanged (although, they are WAY better than they were).
If its all about MPGs, where's my diesel Escape with the manual transmission? (or CVT!).
They might 'care' but only because the gov't requires it.
