Reply #9: Seems like a bit of a meaningless measurement to me. [View All]

Suggests that if the price of fuel drops, you can have a corresponding drop in fuel economy, and everything evens out. That's NOT the message we should be having now. Even if fuel was half the price it is now (like it was at the end of the Clinton administration), we should still be working as hard as possible to burn less of it. All this measurement is good for is to provide a more accurate measure of the financial impact of driving a particular vehicle at a particular moment in time. However, anyone who has completed 5th grade math should have a strong grasp of that these days anyway.
