At the risk of provoking the "no politics and religion boys", here is one big reason to keep your old car on the road. Our little Porsches are actually great on gas mileage, and considering the upcoming costs one of these new cars will put on the consumer, I think it is best to keep the old ones humming. And by old, I don't just mean our '70s era cars. I forsee the "aftermarket" growing larger for keeping even our newer, pre-nanny state cars on the road. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20090519/D989J3F00.html |

All that is needed to do this is to allow Diesels again. My F-350 crewcab 4x4 automatic loaded with 2500 pounds of people and stuff gets a consistent 24mpg on the highway, and this is a ridiculously overpowered truck that would do fine with a 4 liter engine. There is no reason at all why a half ton pickup with a reasonable engine could not get 30+
