I think in a couple of years the cream will come to the top,as so to speak.Right now every one is starting to panic and going out and buying 30 to 40 MPG vehicles. Like you say lots of cars 20 years ago got the mileage the car mfgrs. are boasting about today.My drivers are 18 and 28 MPG.I'm going to hold pat and wait for something that really impresses me.
