That is why so many people buy huge SUVs and trucks that they don't need for everyday drivers.  

Ford Motor Company only makes ONE car now and it is a gas guzzling sports car (Mustang).  Everything else they make is a truck or SUV.

Except even the huge SUVs and trucks are still getting way better milage than they used to. Much more than the standard increase they were seeing earlier.

F-150 in 2020 gets about 23-25mpg highway depending on the model. +5mpg.
F-150 in 2010 gets about 18-20mpg highway. +2mpg.
F-150 in 2000 gets about 17-19mpg highway. +3mpg.
F-150 in 1990 gets about 14-17mpg highway.

The last decade saw as much increase in big truck fuel economy as the previous two decades COMBINED.
