    Not surprised. I hear car ads now and they will not shut up with their rubbish about these. Just one yesterday was saying how going from 20 mpg to 40 mpg would save $2000/year, so come buy our new Hyundai Elantra that gets 40 mpg, as if a) a person's miles are all on the highway and b) that person used to drive a vehicle that gets 20 mpg highway (very few are this bad on the road).

    But all the commercials now are touting mileage.
