It's the "Corporate Average" of ALL vehicle models made by a Mfgr. in any given model year that they set that average mileage figure to. It will be obtained by hybrid and electric "cars" that raise the average to offset the lower mileage obtaining trucks. I read that somewhere recently about what makes up the average. So there will not be a 54.5 mpg F150. Maybe 25-28 mpg due to weight savings by then?

Oh... And by that time, Im sure we are all going to have a wind mill in our back yards with solar panels too.
Cause electricity would go up in price.

I Cant remember where i read it, but Its rumored that f150 should be aluminum by 2017... Reducing overall weight by 700 lbs.
