3000+ mpg is totally bogus

This extremely high gas mileage is interesting in as much as everybody in the US is complaining about gas prices but it seems completely bogus. They don't appear to be doing anything meaningful beyond reducing speed, weight, friction, air drag. So sure they produce a high number, but it's not like we're learning anything new or there's real innovation here that will make any real difference. Most consumers still tend to prefer larger, fast, strong looking cars and have bad driving habits, all of which run counter to fuel efficiency. That's what needs changed and it's going to take more pain in the wallet to do that.
