For strictly fuel economy yes we probably do they don't design that way. And certainly would not want the driver to have to think a little about their trip type and length to optimize FE.
My diesel suburban and the buick are good examples of where I did know better, at least for FE than GM.
GM however wasn't appealing to what I was specifically looking to get out of those vehicles, they were appealing to a different market.
Also remember the engineer does not always have 100% input on what the vehicle does, they can give suggestion but inevitably put in what they are told to.
