True, but we're talking about two (or maybe three) different things. Choosing a fuel-efficient car will get you a big chunk of the savings without doing anything else. Likewise, learning to drive efficiently will save maybe 15-20% of fuel cost, whatever car you drive. Neither of those involves making any modifications to the car, thought.
