50-80mpg might be not be significant enough for people in the US, but for many people in Canada and places like Europe, it's very significant.
The problem here isn't that it isn't significant enough of a return, the problem is that gas is too cheap in the US and that's a problem I cannot relate to.
**andI forgot that next July the Ontario Government is going to be adding the 8% provincial tax to gas, so that will make this change even more significant**

of course, it would be a nice problem to have if we could be worried about getting ONLY 50 mpg.
