I wonder if this is because of CAFE standards or Market demands.......or both.

I personally think the high cost of fuel has FORCED companies to make vehicles more efficient. I think the big automotive companies would have made better/efficient cars solely based on market forces.......

BUT, we will never know. A good test would be to get rid of CAFE standards all together and see if the efficiency trend continues.

no, its because most of the trucks are parked unless needed. and driving kias in the meantime.
