I still can't get over this. 40 mpg a good mileage ? I'm driving a 13 year old car that does 39 mpg. When I had two boats I would tow both of them (300 kg of boat + 150 kg of trailer) simultaniously at 75 mph and still do 30 mpg.

You betcha that the technology to do 40 mpg has been available for many years now. It is not technology that stands in the way but human nature. Which macho guy wants to drive a fuel efficient car ? Doesn't match well with the image.
