Huh? I get about 6L/100km in my car (about 38-40 mpg). Even the most efficient F-150 uses twice that. Look at real-world data for the VW and the F-150

And improvements in efficiency just back up my point. Once the government actually started to do something about it in the late '00s, the F-150's fuel usage dropped by almost 20% in a few years after being more or less the static for the prior 20 years.
