Actually I was surprised when I found out that Ford has actually made incredible increases in fuel efficiency, but they did it all before people started caring about fuel efficiency and they've never shook off the reputation of being a gas guzzler. Let me put it this way, if Ford used the same amount of fuel (compared to other vehicle makers' vehicles) as 20 years ago then I don't think they would have lasted through the insane gas prices last summer.
