Just an idea, then you can say screw the nanny society, I drive a vehicle that is as undesirable to drive as a mid nineties (fill in the blank) but gets considerably better FE.

Lighter cars aren't necessarily noisier and I find mine so comfy (even over 7 hour trips) that I don't understand how that could be classified "undesireable".
