CruiserPA Rookie Author Pennsylvania Posts:67 Points:80,820 Joined:Nov 2007	Message Posted: May 19, 2012 3:21:35 PM Ignore CruiserPA Report Abuse I do not think that many people are worried about fuel economy or MPG. If they were they would not be buying all these large pickup trucks and large SUV's all with large engines. They keep downsizing the cars and even a small family can not fit into them. We need full size cars back. The manufactures are supply us with 300 to nearly 600 HP engines but we need full size cars also. I do not care what they run on as long as they run.
