So would making Urban Utopia peeps not be able to own a vehicle.
Lets put V4 engines on the luxury cars and the large SUV's driven by leading liberals, and then we can talk about the cars that regular people drive.

I think that we would see a more realistic overall improvement I fuel economy by coordinating traffic lights and setting up roads to minimize stop-and-go driving. If I drive my trick at a steady 45-50 mph, Im seeing around 26-28 mpg. Highway driving at 75 mph brings it down to about 22,and stop/go city driving drops to 17.5-19.5 depending on conditions.
