This has nothing to do with Toyota. This is about reality here.

I also think it sounds impossible. Like mentioned already, aerodynamics and weight make it nearly impossible. Now a 60 MPG Ford mid size sedan? Now that I could see more.
The only way I could see even a 40 MPG F150 in the next 10 years is if someone rebadged their then hybrid Ford Ranger into an "F-150"..

Even if this was official Ford press release, I would be sceptical, because product does not exist.
But it is not even that - it is writing on some obsecure website.
Ford president recently said at Detroit - we can not innovate via press releases, we have to have the product.
I agree.
