We live in a time where a dodge ram gets 29 mpg

That is amazing to me, because it wasn't that long ago that small family cars were getting MPG in the upper 20's to low 30's and now this heavy beastly truck is getting similar mpg while being shaped like a brick. Here's a search of the jetta so you can see for yourself. I used to think that 25 mpg was the magic number and each year trucks would slowly creep up to 30mpg, with the 1st one getting to 30 mpg would have a huge marketing campaign. Well dodge sure did race out to the lead in such a short amount of time. It still seems weird that a full size truck gets almost 30 mpg
