I see a lot of "almost as efficient" fuel economy statements, but it's worth noting that the absolute amount of fuel saved going from 70mpg to 90mpg is less than the amount saved improving from 25mpg to 27mpg, or from 15.0mpg to 15.7mpg. "Just" 1-2mpg is a lot of fuel when you're in the teens or twenties.
