Very good point Frank..
I also feel that "very fuel efficient" should be applied per car class..
e.g. 70+mpg Sub compact
60+ mpg compact
50+mpg Mid size etc
I think there is merit in approaching a mover to beter fuel efficiency in 2 stages
1. Get everyone moved to the most fuel efficient version of the car they THINK they need
2. work on shifting people to more appropriate transportation options
