... You are watching a sci-fi movie about the near, apocalyptic future, where someone has to drive as far as possible on what limited fuel they have. Their car's trunk is almost empty, but the spare tire and a few boxes are strapped to the roof rack. And you are thinking They are not doing it right!

I'd like to see fuel economy show up in movies, like when people would actually discuss and show how to save fuel, or say things like "Let's take the small car, it uses half as much gas as the SUV", etc. A part of some more extreme situation (like in the first part of my post) would be showing how someone ecomods a car in the wild (tears off mudflaps and roof rack, maybe even the side mirrors, adds cardboard or metal wheel skirts).

Oh well, gas is still too cheap for this to show up in cinemas, the closest Hollywood comes is showing actors driving around in Priuses (Priusitachi)
