Why is the manufacturer to blame? They merely produce what they think we the consumer will buy.
The consumer is to blame for not demanding more efficient vehicles and being willing to pay for them.
Further, the consumer is to blame for just generally sucking at driving efficiently. US fuel economy would go up 20% overnight if everyone gave some thought to their driving, as we do.
When I suggest driving intelligently in other car forums in topics that concern fuel economy, the most common reaction is that they can't be bothered, they bought the car for fun, or you gotta pay to play.
