I got 36mpg hwy with my 2005 Passat Wagon diesel. Not as big as a Roadmaster, but much larger than a crossover.

Remember that CAFE standards apply to the weighted average for entire fleet of cars made by a manufacturer -- the whole mix of econo-boxes and hawgs.

The problem with station wagons for the domestic manufacturers was that a.) station wagons usually had the worst mpg of the fleet and b.) they sold a lot of them -- thus, producing a relatively high impact on the fleet mpg.

But the government will never let a market make decisions when they can regulate a decision instead.
