Isn't that a very VERY big assumption? Namely believing GM would do something to a car that would increase costs but give a marginal increase in economy?

GM (and Ford, Dodge, etc.) care about making money. That is all they care about. Trusting a car firm is like trusting a lawyer.....not always advisable.
