We can't have a little diesel car here that could get 74 miles per gallon because diesels are dirrrtttyyy. Instead, we have diesel trucks that could get great milage but have EGR valves, Cat converters and best of all particulate filters that cause the vehicle to burn twice as much fuel so that the exhaust is cleeeaaannnn! But we must conserve, not drill for more of which is right here at home, instead buy it from someone who is plotting to use my money to kill me and pay 4 times more than what I could get it for. I plan on having my vehicle that burns fossil fuels for quite a while, I hope at least till 2020. If it ran on natural gas maybe I could fart in the gas tank, then I could call it a hybrid since it would be running on two types of fuel, natural gas and wind (as in breaking wind). Government, what a bunch of dumb a$$'s, but, I can't blame the smart people for not wanting to be in government.      I think I'll just vote myself a raise in pay  . |
Best post I have heard all year!! Just wait till the japs come out with one then it will be ok.
What I dont understand is how a jap can build a 350hp v6 that gets 30 mpg and the big 3 here cant build anything even close either in mpg or horsepower? So when the japs come out with a 400hp diesel that get 75mpg the big 3 will be like why didn't we think of that?
