Yeah, and the big 3 and the oil companies are holding hands and laughing all the way to the bank!!! In 1987, I bought a new one ton Chevy, 454, 4spd., 4.10 rears, throttle body injection. 6-7 mpg loaded. Couldn't afford to feed it. 12,000 miles on it, I pulled the elec.fuel pump out of the tank,and put a pump on the motor where it belongs, replaced the TBI with a quadrajet carb, advanced the timing a couple of degrees and 'lo and behold, fuel mileage never fell below 12 mpg. If the big 3 wanted to build a truck that would get 30 mpg. they would do it. Back in the '70's there was a guy that built a carb. that would get over 50 mpg. One of the big 3, I think it was GM, bought the design from the guy for several thousand dollars....and that was the end of that.
