Of course it would be great if we could get everyone using the 100MPG vehicle. But that’s not reasonable. Indeed, we should still work on having people move up the scale (or down the old scale) as fast as possible, but what’s most important are getting the major gas guzzlers off the road.

I guess this just shows how stupid everyone is. MPG or GPM is the same thing, just flip the number over. If you get 50 miles/1 gallon, you also get that 1 gallon will take you 50 miles. (or 1 gallon/50 miles).

Think of your sons and daughters and grandchildren every time you use foreign oil! If not for unstated but very true facts of American life and the foreign oil supply, Iraq would never have happened! It is a Saudi obligation completed! As oil grows scarcer in the world, the Saudi and OPEC demands get higher! Who do we invade next to appease them, Iran, or do we give up Israel to make them happy enough to ship oil to our shores? We must quit this “mercenary for oil” position and get real about Wind: see reference below:
There is as much wind power potential (900,000 megawatts) off our coasts as the current capacity of all power plants in the United States combined, according to a new report entitled, A Framework for Offshore Wind Energy Development in the United States, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, and General Electric. http://www.capecodtoday.com/news246.htm01/01/09
and remember:
If the U.S. had chosen to be a moral people, and leaving Iraqi oil alone, and following Al Gore, decided to develop the South Western deserts, with the technology of the times – solar/thermal-molten sodium – electricity installations, for the same amount of money as that war cost, ($650 Billion), today, we would be tapping into the largest, renewable, sustainable, energy source the world has ever known. It would have paid every energy bill in the U.S.A. for maintenance fees only – FOREVER! It would be equivalent to an oil field that can NEVER run dry! Low cost electric power, and storeable hydrogen gasoline replacement from the electricity, for all!
After the millions of murders, and $650 billions of dollars, borrowed from our children’s futures and pissed away, with thousands of our own and others maimed and disfigured for life, millions of families utterly destroyed, ours and theirs, we are no closer to Iraqi oil production than the Iraqis are!
The next time you hear a blithering idiot spoiled brat, drunken, drug addicted, sociopath, rich Arabic saber dancing daddie’s boy oilman, stand at a microphone and threaten YOUR safety with someone ELSE’S weapons, remember what you lost America, remember, and weep!

Hey, don’t be predjudiced against an entire country because of it’s majority. I’m American and am not nearly as stupid as most. Therefore, you are insulting to me. You should understand that concept.

That is definetly true, and trust me, there is nothing wrong with thinking about the economics of apurchase. Soon enough, as these things become widespread enough, their will be a pretty large used car market for these things as the years go by. Expect lots of 2nd generation priuss(i) to hit the used car market once the 3rd generation hits us in a few years.

Soooo .... I understand the issue for as many of us to upgrade to more fuel efficient vehicles. I actually support it.

BUT - I would like to ask all of you .... what do you expect a family of 4 with 1 income set well below poverty level and no public assistance to do? Are you willing to help them financially buy this new hybrid vehicle? Are you going to foot the bill for their new fuel efficiency?

I live very well and my family has a decent income. We do what we can to improve our effect on the environment and our fuel consumption. We do plan on upgrading to a better vehicle one day - HOWEVER we can not afford the cost associated right now with that upgrade. Does that make us evil self righteous earth killing fiends???? No it makes us limited by our own resources. Many of us do what we can - don't fault us all because we are still driving traditional fuel cars.
