The reason you can't buy a 4-cyl, light, economical pickup truck that gets 40mpg is because "clean" government regulations demand they get 100 mpg for that "SIZE CLASS" or the manufacturer must pay a massive penalty ($20,000.00) for each vehicle sold.
Ford and GM therefore only make 8-cylinder beasts that are exempt from "SIZE CLASS" restrictions, which weigh 8 tons and get 20mpg, in order to save the planet.

What? A law with "unintended" consequences, never heard of such a thing.
