agree on more tax on gas but too much too fast will collapse even the most robust economy

Just tax gas !
Add 3 dollars to the price of gasoline, and America will change.

If you want to control pollution from gas-powered mobile trash-bins, the solution is actually rather simple, stop building them. Makeing marginally more fuel efficent crap-boxes will not “save the planet” or anything remotely like it. We are far past the point where fuel sipping trash bins will undo the damage of a century of motoring american-style. Better to face up to this reality that keep hoping corrupt welfare-corporations like GM and there ilk will suddenly have a change of heart and actually make something that could remotely be conisdered “clearn”.

I have a Hyundai and love their cars, but I have to admit they are very slow to bringing hybrids and EVs to market. They are good at gasoline car efficiency but well behind Ford, GM and Nissan in corporate vision.

Amen to the last paragraph. Get rid of subsidies! Although I am not against taxing larger engines (or by vehicle weight, mpg, …).

Not only Hyundai does not offer trucks or pickups, it has withdrew its minivan, which is more versatile and safer than most CUV, from its lineup.

Hyundai said: "In January, the carmaker sold 4,792 40 mpg [(highway)] cars."

According to the January dash board on this site, Hyundai has not sold any Sonata hybrid, yet.

I think it's great that Hyundi is doing this (as long as the number are accurate).

If they choose not to sell trucks, that's their business (and potential loss of business).

If you're going sell stuff well below the 35 MPG threshold, then you need to sell stuff well above the 35 MPG threshold to balance it out.

Be proud of what you do. Let others challenge you.
