We understand where you are coming from but for many people especially over 25-30 who have a family we have more than one car so if someone wants to takes. Trip or go to the store we take a mini van or what have you.
As the CAFE standards close in more and more cars/trucks will have small engines. Just look at the new aluminum ford with a 2.7. A smaller engine than the M3/4 in a full size pickup!
I also agree that whatever numbers it gets doing 55 (our interstates just went up to 70mph) is irrelevant to what people will actually do with the car most of the time.
