I don't follow. How is 17MPG better for the environment than 49MPG?

Large numbers are tough for you?

More trucks out there than clown cars.

Top gear on fuel economy

Funny but half way through they tell you how bad hybrids are for the environment

It's not. If you're comparing the Prius to the F-150 as a commuter vehicle one on one, the Prius is clearly and obviously more environmentally friendly. The article is just saying that since the F-150 is the best selling vehicle in America, the very modest increase in fuel economy will have a larger impact on pollution than you might expect. The title is just misleading click bait.

he is skewing the numbers to help his argument. That is the basic idea of statistics. You can make a stat mean anything to favor your argument.
