Maybe it makes no sense, but people do it. Consider the useful-sized pickups ("small" to some people) that were popular in the '80s, and which got better than 25 mpg. (My '88 Toyota 4WD still does.) Can you find anything of the same size today? Even Toyota's Tacoma has bloated out of all recognition, and they added a much larger model. Ford does its F-things, but I'm not sure they even do the F-150 any more, it's 250, 350, 450, "Super Duty", &c.
