I guess there are two ways to look at it. You can either work with what you have, and try to improve it. Or you can start with a better base to work with. Some people might be in a lease or owe more than the car is worth on it, so selling it might not be an option. But if you have the ability to get into a more F.E. friendly vehicle, especially once you start to get into hypermiling, then that is the way to go. Getting your mpg stats 25% higher than epa rating is fun, and the percentage looks impressive, but at the end of the day if your improved mileage is only 22 mpg, then you are still spending a lot of money on fuel that could be put towards a more efficient vehicle.
