Yes, but any system that isn't straight forward can be rigged by marketers.

And most people don't want to sit in a dealership and do linear regression to get a simple answer to a simple question.

For most people, they want a car that is comfortable and a color they like.

"Is this fuel efficient?"

"Yes"

"Sold!"

Hell, I wouldn't sit there and automatically know that you can't directly compare the 2 MPG ratings.
