Oh, and all trucks larger than an F-150, all vans, and all 'commercial trucks' don't even require any type of fuel efficiency rating what so ever. BS.
The F150 doesn't even get 16mpg. It's more like 10-12. And you gotta love those turbo diesel trucks... lol

And for this specific average MPG in 2020, people either dont understand or are completely taking it out of perspective. It's only for the new '20 cars (that was wierd to type lol). I still drive my '78 6.6L TA around which gets 11mpg, and this has lasted 30 yrs so far! We have also have a perfectly good '65 Mustang we run around occasionally. That's 43 yrs old! With this new MPG thing going down, it'll only bring back the muscle cars. You just wait... It will be the return of the pony cars, due to restoration! The way I see it, people will bring the older cars back to life. Cheap, quality cars, cheap parts, cheap HP! Long live the F-Body!
