I still love the idea in a small-misdsize car where you can get 50 MPG (TDI) or the bigger trucks.

Very strange logic.

What's the difference between them and the half ton trucks?

My question as well. The more fuel a vehicle burns the more you stand to save by reducing it by the same percentage.



10000 miles divided by 50 MPG = 200 gallons. 25% of that is 50 gallons.
10000 miles divided by 28 MPG = 357 gallons. 25% of that is 89 gallons.

Clearly, the vehicle getting the worst mileage has the most to gain from a 25% improvement.
