35 MPG: Why Wait Until 2020?
I would LOVE a diesel car.  Even though Diesel prices are quite high right now, you can get amazing MPGs, and they aren't the smoke spewing truck engines of yesteryear that you think of.  Of course the US Gov't strikes again with laws and regulations. Er I mean I heart […]

Stories like this really make me think the free market isn't going to bring us better mpg in cars.  I've read that if it could be done, car manufacturers would be doing it right now because "green" is hot.  Well this guy is doubling mpg's in BIG cars and […]
