But in fact it is not the way to get the biggest gain, unless of course you have some sort of device, like those found in the unicorn corral, that magically improves fuel economy at little or no cost. In the real world,most people aren't willing to spend lots of time and/or money ecomodding their current 10-mpg vehicles, or significantly change their driving habits, so the only way you're going to improve fuel economy is to get them to change vehicles. When they are getting that new vehicle, a fraction can be persuaded to go for the 60 mpg alternative.
