I like JD Clampett's response. The funny thing is the rest of the popl'n will be laughing at them. I mean, the world's already laughing at America, known for its over consumption of... well everything. I don't know.

People think I'm a soccer mom that will drive slow and always have the intention ...

I think the fundamental problem is the US group, domestic big 3 haven't gotten past doing token engineering and marketing hype as opposed to making the commitment to develop the in-house engineering skills to make significant advances in mpg, excepting of course their European imported design vehicles. A few exceptions in their product line..... ...the Ford Escape hybrid which uses ...
