Not every scientist out there endorses anthropogenic global warming, even though many influent politicians tend to be more favorable to the ones who do so, because fear is an instrument of social control, and many people would be too scared to argue about better solutions when a politician tries to push some agenda.

Smaller vehicles could be made to be much more efficient but would have to become Aero Civics or Apteras.
With the ownership of motor vehicles still holding some sort of status, which may not be seen to the same extent in the United States as in Mexico or here in Brazil, some folks would rather pay a premium for something worse under the efficiency perspective while it looks more prestigious on another aspect. No wonder the earliest generation of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class failed here, despite the 3-point star badge...

ICE's currently out there can be converted to CNG (good bye trunk space).
I have already seen a lot of vehicles converted to CNG with underbody tanks, leading to a minimal intrusion to the trunk mostly caused by the relocation of the spare tire.
