The average fuel economy today ... Mondo Fuego™ , Wed Jun 27 2:05pm... is nowhere 45 MPG. We have millions of single-occupant SUVs getting 10-12 MPG. I don't recall brake problems with any of my 1960 cars. Of course, I drive defensively and do not tailgate ... I am... more
I don't say AVERAGE. David F Mayer, Wed Jun 27 3:43pmMy car is much better than average. But even AVERAGE economy, for SIMILAR-SIZED CARS, has gone way up. Sure, SUVs are trucks, and get truck mileage values. But a six passenger car today gets MUCH... more
