Even if they could only manage a 50% mpg gain with ONE VEHICLE and this could be verified...and it could be done without reducing the reliability and driveability....THEN this would prove the point.

So what happens when fuel management systems are designed from scratch to work with these kinds of add on systems?

US auto companies are on life support because they built more Hummers than fuel efficient cars. You can't use idiots as examples of anything.

As a "suspect"...I suspect people are going to be surprised how fast things change now that some fairly rational adults (not the military, "defense" and oil companies?) are in charge politically in the US.

All I can say is...stay tuned....more to come.
