Bigger is not always better. I remember when the “tail fin” wars hit Detroit. Chrysler was the last and the biggest of the tail fins. DeSoto perhaps king of the tail fins was eventually dropped. I have to believe that fuel economy was always a token gesture for Detroit. They made small cars only to get the average gas consumption for the entire fleet under the limit. I was told by a Ford executive that the profit margin on a big car was greater than a small car.
