I did not mean to imply that fuel efficiency should be neglected- Only that the suburbanization of the U.S., and the subsequent distances some of us drive to work has a lot to do with our consumption as well. You are right -fuel efficiency dropped off the map from the 80's to the early 2000's, and we are paying for it now as a country. Double-
