Fed wants MPG's in the mid 30's...by 2015

I read that current fleet avgs are 28mpg cars and 20mpg trucks. They're not entirely that far off. Also consider 1 fleet can theoretically have a 100mpg vehicle and the rest can be around 20-25mpg and still meet the requirement.

We should calculate the median displacement. It'd be like "4.7 litres, 1.7 litres, 1.4 litres."
