Just heard that the govt. is telling the auto industry they have to double the Mpg on cars by 2017. Any idea what that would do to the price of a car? Any idea how unsafe that will make a car as they will have to make them smaller and lighter. Have you ever woke up in the morning and wondered were your country went?????

Actually they came off of a couple MPG they were demanding the average of all their car lines get.

What gets me is, They sell less gas. The US has actually reduced energy consumption 20 percent each year for the last four. OK, Less gas sold to tax. Electric cars. Lets "TAX THE MILES DRIVEN" is their sollution to you being more efficent in your choices.

Chuck, Cable, Drill on reverse. I say GO FOR IT! Oh I drove fifty miles last year
