If it's 42mpg average across all cars including trucks, suvs and sports cars, then we would need hyper efficient cars (EV's, XL1's) or at least a large volume of decent fuel efficient cars to make up for the rather large amount of trucks we sell in America. Is this correct? The average fuel efficiency of a car then depends on the mpg ceiling that you can coax out of a truck. Maybe the average car will be getting around 54.5 mpg combined?
