No it doesn't, but it answers the question originally posed which was effectively, what is the highest mpg AWD car he could buy, or one that could get close to 40MPG... My answer still stands.
At the same time, it does nothing to bolster your case that something significant has changed with internal combustion since the technologies I described became commonplace.
So again, what was your point?
