You gotta' be kidding, right? With obama & hillary the democrat party front
runners in the upcoming election, do you think the people in this country
will ever wake up in time? ROFL And McCain ain't no bargain either. Sadly
enough....

I think that I'll spend the next four years in the PI and just party
'til I cain't walk. Maybe I'll even find a used Studebaker to tool
around in...

Time for the manufacturers to start selling Kei cars...and every other one a
3 cyl diesel turbodiesel like the Smart car (was), that can go 80 mph all
day long and still get better than 60 (US) mpg, including running the AC.

A neighbour has averaged about 75 mpg Imperial (about 60 per US gallon)
since new with his Smart, and still gets about 83 (66 US) on long trips at
65 mph+. He drives a lot with his. (he can afford to)

People are grumbling about the price of gasoline and there are plenty of
cars on the market that get 30 MPG or more and plenty that can get more than
35 MPG. The fact is buyers apparently do NOT want to buy the cars that get
36 MPG. They will settle for 30 MPG to get a vehicle that suits there
needs and wants. Look at what they are buying, the number one seller, for
most every manufacturer, is not their midger or small car but their midsize
cars. Take note of what you see on the highways, people are still driving
as fast and a far as ever and I still see a lot of campers and motor homes
on the roads.

What we should be concerned about is the price of diesel fuel. Up until
the end of 2007, before the newest federal regulation for diesel fuel, the
average cost of diesel fuel was 50c LESS than regular gasoline. Since the
regular went into effect diesel in now 50c a gallon MORE than premium
gasoline. Diesel trucks only get around 6 MPG. Everything we buy is and
will continue to go up, because everything we buy is transported by truck.
Even the food we eat us produced by using diesel fuel.

Which illustrates the ignorance of transporting commodities long
distance by truck when rail is a lot more efficient.

Trucks should be limited to local deliveries in surrounding areas near
major rail hubs.
