What would be some fact that, while true, could be told in a context or way that is misinfomating or make the other person draw incorrect conclusions?

    It you travel 50 miles at 5mpg, you use 10g of fuel At 10mpg you use 5g…a saving of 5g

    40mpg uses 1.25g 55mpg uses 0.91g a saving of 0.34g much less of a saving.

        but if we are trying to save the world getting the lowest mpg vehicles off of the road first will have a stronger effect

        if you already drive a 30mpg car and you are ready to upgrade then definitely look for better efficiency but I think we should have incentives in place to get cars that operate at for instance 16 mpg (my first car for instance, 1996 Chevy blazer, now deceased) replaced by even 10 year old models which are much more efficient
