Jethro: You got me!
By no means did I give the full picture, where average FE has gone up since, say, the 1960's or '70's. In my post I was referring to the masses of people giving up econocars for SUV's and phat-@$$ pickup trucks. Plus the fact that today's "superslick" Cd's of circa 0.24-0.28 were something new back in the 1930's and '40's. Since then car companies have been reinventing the wheel every few years, repackaging it and advertising it as if it was a first.
