Some of the stuff they put forth would need a little closer inspection, i.e. smaller engines versus larger units. Smaller= doesn't always mean better. I do like the idea of just plain getting smaller engines into cars/trucks, just how much "power" does one need to propel a single person in an SUV :-)?
I would like to see how they arrive at 150Octane using E85, current off the shelf is rated at 105, could be merely a typo.
Thanks for the link!! it does show that they are listening :)

It will depend on the front area and thus drag for motorway driving, and for stop-start town driving the mass of the vehicle as well.

The better question might be:
Why do most of these idiots even have the SUV? Most never even get on a rock road let alone off a road all together. Just silly.
We need and have a 4X4 pickup but, as anyone who has been here knows, in winter you will not get up here to the house without the 4X4 and the truck gets used regularly on the farm. The daily driver is a New Beetle because the truck is a glutton for fuel.
Townies with the big 4X4 8 passenger vehicles that never carry anything but a driver and maybe groceries deserve the anal raping they get at the gas pump, in my opinion. Just ignorance, I guess.
