1990 on that graph is 20mpg. 2008 is 23mpg. This is a delta of 3mpg. This is not open to debate.

This contradicts your original statement of:

Yes or no?

This isn't equations. This is a simple line graph with no interpretation required. The closest thing to an equation that i'm asking you about is:

23 - 20 = 22 - 21

If you do in fact view this as a true statement/equation, then we have no further argument. If you don't, then your original statement is false and there's no argument possible. Your choice.

You can call them fancy ICE buzzwords or "excuses" all you want and cry about MPG remaining stagnant (which believe it or not, isn't the #1 priority for some people), but you're ignoring a vital part of the discussion.

Compare that to the population pie chart on this forum for example. I don't think that being in the minority necessarily makes you wrong. The epitomic lightweight affordable sporty car Miata is always the answer, ok isn't that a marvel of engineering. But oversized underbuilt with too big of engines is allllll the way not my thing, you guys can defend it and have your Mustangs.

I like how you end your really stupid (subjectively speaking from a majority standpoint, and usually factually false as well, because that's how you roll) statements with a "there is no right and wrong".

Did you go to a school where there were no grades? Did you get participation trophies all your life? Did your mommy always tell you that last place is just as good as first?
