Heck yeah!

Just look at 1975-1981!

The auto industry took FE up 60% in those 6 years alone!

Just listen to the big three whine about raising fleet averages now! They'd like to have us believe that what happened from 75-81 was some sort of divine intervention.
According to them they could never get those kinds of FE gains now.
