the publics opinion of what good mileage is
I was talking to someone the other day about the new yaris, and they said "someone's full of it, a normal car can't get 40mpg" by normal, I think they ment, no hybrids, no diesels, I of course told them that there are "normal" cars, like mine that I drove there, that get much better then 40mpg, and that there are those of us who, to put $30 of gas in a vehicle, would need a gas can in the trunk.
so why is it that 40mpg is thought of as being an unrealisicly high gas mileage for "normal" cars to get? and that 30mpg is "great milge" I've called about crx's for sale that the people said they got "great mileage" and when I asked for numbers one guy even said "25-30" I was shocked, and had to ask if it ran well enough that I would be able to drive it home with that kind of poor mileage, and he was extreamly confused.
maybe it's no wonder that people don't demand better mileage, they don't know what the options are.
