Am I alone in this world ? Lol !
Personally, the only reason that I care about fuel economy has to do with fuel prices and the frequency of having to get fuel. If gas were $1.00 a gallon I could care less if I were getting 15 mpg or 30 mpg and I don't want to drive 400 miles in-between gas stops. There's obviously more to this climate concern but then we'd be in the N&P.
