So the new Impalla that chevy has released has a option for a 330 HP V8 with 28 highway fuel consumption.
Thats amazing. Just amazing. I wonder how far fuel efficency can be pushed? |

As long as we're on a rant topic... OK we're not but (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/hijacked.gif)
Toyota says they've got 9 (wow 9!) models that get 30+MPG. So what! And those are EPA figures! In real life, my '58 bug (with the ragtop and windows usually open) got 30 MPG all the time. 47 years later, technology has done what? For a closer example, my 1990 Geo Metro, which cost $7k (it was the luxury model), got 50+MPG on all but 2 tanks of gas over 130K miles (when the mileage dropped to 44 MPG, I knew there was something terribly wrong) The Metro fit 4 adults and could cruise over the Grapevine at 65 with the airconditioning on. That car actually got better mileage with the AC running than AC off with the windows down. Under any reasonable analysis, high MPG versions of any cars offered today will not cover their premium price while gas is under $6 a gallon. We're being screwed by Big Oil, Big Auto, Big Government (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/finger.gif) and we're collectively letting them. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) Even if everyone that I come in contact with understands and agrees, we are completely overwhelmed by the rest of the populace. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/slap.gif) We are sinking in a sea of mediocrity, I see more lemmings than sheep from where I sit. Man I hate this, I feel better when I don't think about these things. But I've got a plan...
