OK, didn't realize this up to now, seems strange to me.
Do they [car manufacturers in general] still give the car price the highest priority?

Strange thing although, seems they don't consider the US buyers looking for a good MPG.
By the way, what's the fuel price where you live?
In Germany it's about 1.60€/l, that's 2.1$/l or 7.96$/gal (I took the US liq gal value, hope this is correct...)
Yesterday I took a ride to Luxemburg, just a few kilometres from here, there it's only 1.38€/l / 1.82$/l / 6.89$/gal .
(for comparison: fully comprehensive insurance (with a high discount by a trick, would be double the price else) costs me 790$/yr, tax is 26$/yr; 10$/hr is the usual wage for unlearned holiday workers like me )

I don't know the prices you pay, but in the end I reckon it's still cheaper for you, even with the bigger engine

(sorry for my english, I hope it's understandable)
