The real point is that the low hanging fruit is where the real gains are to be found in our national fleet.
Finding a way for the next gen Prius to get 2 mpg higher on the EPA test won't make as big a dent in gasoline usage as requiring 1/4 ton pickups to get 2 mpg higher on the EPA test. That won't make pickups green, but it's where the industry should focus its FE efforts.
