Seeing those things and knowing the person bought an objectively worse version of a decent car causes me pain every single time.
But the only thing we can do about that is educate people.

For that you'd first need to stop the auto industry to actively miseducate them through ads.
That bring me to another point: Fuel economy ratings. My car is rated at 3.3l of average consumption. That's possible when hypermiling at night, but BS when considering traffic.
I reckon SUVs are even worse than my 50% increase over the rating because their weight makes engine braking less effective in traffic and aerodynamics tend to be less of a problem at the hypermiling speeds they do during the tests than at real world speeds.
