If that's what people will buy, that's what should be made. Capitalism at its best.

Well if there were an argument for the car makers to NOT make fuel efficient cars it would be to produce cars at a much lower cost.

The electronics and engines that have to be used in cars today are extremely complex. Your car goes through literally millions of checks every mile you drive. Now if they were to do away with all of the complicated engineering, that could reduce that cost of cars by at least 1/3.

The older cars(before the mid 70's) had an engine, spark plugs, coil,distributor and contact points. The new cars have about 200 prats on the engine to accomplish the same task only more efficiently.
