Except that Ford sells SUVs and doesn't have to pay for the gas that you use. An ****load of SUVs sold makes Ford an ****load more money than any five ****loads of small cars. Now if FE becomes a higher priority in our market, high MPG cars can demand a premium in the showroom and replace pickups and SUVs as the industry's focus. Until then FE is a $500 gimmick that features slightly different wheel covers and an "SFE" nameplate.
