Determining the amount of gas saved per increase in mpg is not the same as computing the increase in efficiency.

10mpg = 10gal/100mi
20mpg = 5gal/100mi
40mpg = 2.5gal/100mi

Moving from 10mpg to 20mpg is a 100% increase in efficiency, just like moving from 20mpg to 40mpg. For any given distance, however, moving from 10mpg to 20mpg will save twice as much gas as moving from 20mpg to 40mpg. To save as much gas as moving from 10mpg to 20mpg, a car would have to jump from 20mpg to infinity mpg. The question as presented is somewhat loaded, but what can you expect from a business school other than a bunch of misleading crap.

Stockholm's Bunny-Fueled Heating Plant 11

The city of Stockholm has an interesting way of dealing with the thousands of rabbits killed every year to protect trees and shrubbery in the city’s parks. The bunnies are transported to a special heating plant, where the bodies are burned as a form of bioenergy. Last year Stockholm burned over 6,000 bunny briquettes. As to be expected many animal rights activists say they would rather go cold. "Those who support the culling of rabbits surely think it's good to use the bodies for a good cause. But it feels like they're trying to turn the animals into an industry rather than look at the main problem," said Anna Johannesson of Vilda kaniners ("Society for the Protection of Wild Rabbits").
