Value of selling "the sport."
There is great value for "selling the sport." If a small percentage of people are made aware that whatever car they own can get: 20 mpg instead of 15 mpg, 45 mpg instead of 35 mpg, 75 mpg instead of 50 mpg: less fuel will be burned and the people will have more $$$ in their pocket to spend elsewhere, etc. It is done to help everyone drive whatever they have more efficiently.

However, I'm not a fan of proselytizing. Friendly competition is great, but I don't think it should turn into an advertising campaign. What is the value of "selling" the sport?
