What logic do you base that on? I'd think if "they" can get an 80,000lb truck to get 7 mi/gal, then "they" could get a 3,000lb car to get 150 mi/gal.
What's your fuel mileage driving volvo 780 with volvo or cummins engine?

2000 Volvo VNL-660 w/ D-12C, fuller .78 o/d 10 spd, 53' Dry Van 18 wheels RR of truck is 108. Running north east corner of country = lots of hills. NYC = lots of low range
Before valve adjustment 6.3 ( truck runs A LOT better after they were adjusted min 5 mph faster up my hard pulls 43-45mph @ 75,000 was 36ish mph)
Usually drive at 1250 rpm = 62mph but there are times I am up to 1575 @ 70mph when its needed. Go down hills as fast as conditions will allow Hey down hill is free and helps get up the next one. -

What about the Volvo's with the cummings and an automatic? MPG

im lucky if i get 5 on a good day..and thats without my foot clipping my toenails on the fan...

60mph or 74mph, still 5mpg. Sounds like truck is outsmarting/protecting itself vs a lead foot.
