I could not believe what I read on the news (reported on Reuters), Bill Ford Jr. of Ford Motor Co. wants a $.50 gallon gas tax to encourage people to buy more efficent cars, he also wants a tax incentive to assist people buying his complex Hybrid vehicles! You all might want to write Ford about this joker, as his tax will effect all drivers, even those that get near 30 mpg in there 30 year old 914s, which is better milage than most Ford products sold today. Just venting today on a statement from a true idiot. What a self serving proposal, that would cost many of us hundereds of dollars per year.

Its good PR for the new Ford. When was the last time the auto makers had any say in the gas prices? Well nothing thats come out publicly that I've heard of. Basically its an empty threat that makes him out to be an environmentalist...
And, I have to give him props for bringing back the old Mustang and the GT40. Those cars are too sexy. |
