I have no complaints on them pushing to increase MPGs on cars.
I look at Subaru’s actually.
My '96 Legacy is a 2.2L and I get an average of around 28-30 MPG. They have increased power drastically recently in newer Legacy wagons, but have not done anything to increase gas mileage. For the average driver, my 135hp 2.2L Legacy is more than enough power. I pulled an unpowered Jeep out of a steep, snowy section of the driveway the other day with it.
Sure, power is great for some gearheads, but the average person does not need the power most cars have. Most drivers are incapable of controlling cars properly with the power many currently have.
