Instead, the EPA rating of a vehicle leads us to believe that it's the car that is responsible for the fuel economy. This is evident when fuel prices rise and the sales of more efficient vehicles also rise.
and you have a good point also.
i keep track of my cost-per-mile in the garage.
wow, people can be so naive.
