It's the 70's all over again...

...but don't count on another spur of "G3's" to come from it.

It looks like they want to raise fuel economy standards to 56mpg!

Love this quote though:

"The smallest, lightest cars still have death rates about twice as high as those of the largest, heaviest ones."

And people wonder why I roll in a big car.

I finally bought a small car for the gas mileage a 97 ranger with 2.3 5 speed traded off my 91 Chevy 1/2 ton with a 350. But I will always have big cars. The Fleet: 02 caddy DTS, 77 Cutlass Supreme, 69 442, O ya and 03 civic hybrid that was the fiancee's, but i gave her the caddy Now the hybrid is for sale

the trans just went out on our DD 98 Cavlier so gonna tag a 95 Taurus but it has a 3.8 V6 so hopefully it will still get ok mileage

Make sure the head gaskets are good before you go through the trouble of getting plates for that Taurus.

Take a road trip to MI. I'm about to sell my car

You will be sorry. I sold a mint condition 94 T-Bird with the 3.8 for $200 simply because it was in the shop all the time. I had 2 blown head gaskets in less than 2 years' time. JB

Saw a documentary called gashole talked about a guy who invented a carberatur that got a 40,s model I think. Pontiac weighing in at 4500 lbs over 120 mile to the gallon no bs shell bought the patent and destroyed it

I've heard stories of oil companies buying all of these inventions so they can't be produced. . . Found the documentary on youtube, I'll have to check it out later on today.
