While the statement is true... it only matters in terms of reducing OEM's efficiencies. A 2 mpg gain for stock trucks versus direct competitors and the previous year model is a pretty darn good thing.

But if you measure it in terms of gallons per 100 passenger miles... if you're using a 12 mpg car to deliver one person to their destination versus using a 30 mpg car to deliver one person to their destination, you're using five gallons more per passenger.
