Gas guages are not instruments in any reasonable interpretation of the word. Mine shows me getting 400km for the first half and about 200km in the second half. They are decorations on the dash that more or less tell you when you are running out of gas.
Depends what you mean by fuel efficient. Hear these loose terms all over this thread.
Believe its the people going solo to/from work in their big V8, high weight SUVs waiting in stop n' go traffic with the AC going full blast that are consuming most of the gasoline per person per mile. All the gas saved by the less cylinders used in the latest Hemi, is killed by one foot stomp on the gas pedal. All of this is appropriate for the look in the mirror remark. Both for vehicle demand type from Detroit and fuel consumption.

My trip home takes 45 minutes... 20 minutes going 3 miles through town, and 25 minutes going ~20 miles on the highway. I've often said that if I could eliminate the stopping, I'd get much better gas mileage.
I want a car that gets 100+ mpg, but I don't know of anyone that makes them.
Not so much so if there weren't all the big SUVs bullying them around by sheer weight and size, and you all would slow the "f" down to make things safer collision-wise on the faster roads.
Small cars were never cool. They just made sense until the behemoths were built again. Now everyone needs a behemoth for some sense of survivability.
And it all goes back to the same thing, look in the mirror. Not behind you, at yourself. And even if you do, you'll still do the same BS until you're forced to do so. No conscience, self only, feed the system.
