When they come out with more efficient cars, I hope someone is going to buy everyone a new car since most people can't afford it.

well not only that, but what's all this "we need to come out with more efficient cars" crap!? someone take a look at the mileage that cars get nowadays compared to what they were twenty years ago and tell me we're not building more fuel efficient cars.

I want to say they have a 51mpg Civic out now. Granted I think the problem is trucks/suvs. They should raise the minimum mpg for those vehicles. |

my V8 300hp pickup gets 17mpg in the city and 20mpg on the highway, this is still way better than the trucks of the past. we have an 1979 chevy pickup with a 454 and the thing gets about 7-8mpg (on a good day). granted not everyone had a big block, but still, broncos, suburbans, etc of the past will def not even come close.

My 1992 Bronco got ~19mpg but that was after some heavy modifications. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
