No, it’s not only about fuel economy, as there are many cars manufactured for luxury as well as performance. Agreed, some buy only to save gas. There is an increase too in manufacturing crossovers for family utility purposes. Some have no families or commute solo to and from work. Others that do not commute far can live fine with a new or used less fuel efficient vehicle as their primary purpose. They may need room for young children for active lifestyles.
