thats what pisses me off. they want a tiny fraction, but receive WAY more opposition. i think the EPA is standing behind the curtain so they can be told what to build thus saving fuel so they can be happy
i dont think they understand. a pickup or suv reguardless of manufacture can only get so much mileage. pure physics . if they made a truck that gets the economy they want you max as well remove the bed and towing provisions since the motor wont move more than the truck , the driver, and 3/4 tank of gas. 120bhp (about 89 in a s10 at the wheels) 2.2l fullsize FTL
