I think that's more a function of drivers who don't try (or don't know how to try.) I was on an Accord forum earlier today and marveling at people who were excited about getting 25-28 mpg in the same car I regularly get 35-36 mpg in, even with my unusual commute. (I can't even imagine what it would take to get 25 mpg in that car now. 90 mph with the parking brake on?)
