Are you willing to pay higher taxes for the future wars that will be needed to seize the oil required to satisfy your desire for unlimited fuel consumption? Are you willing to send your kids to fight and die in those wars just so you can drive fast? Do you want to live on a planet that has acidic oceans filled with oil that can’t support life and air that isn’t safe to breathe?
[/quote]Please….I’m sure people like me have a smaller carbon footprint than people like you who think you have a smaller carbon footprint. It’s like folks who tout driving a prius to save the environment, but then take 10+ airplane trips for vacation per year.
..or print out the 500 page manual because you wanted a live copy versus reading it online…[quote=flu]
All the other folks that insist on driving like pansies can still do so in the free slow lanes
[/quote][quote]
So you need to drive fast in order not to feel like a pansy? How old are you?[/quote]In SoCal, the left lane moves 75-78 without the CHP flagging people down for a reason, People want to be able to travel at the speed and CHP doesn’t mind give folks 10 over the posted limit (parts of bay area are 75)…If you’re one of the people insisting on doing 60mph in the left lane when everyone else is moving 75 and holding up traffic 5-6 cars behind…not only would I consider it being a pansy, but frankly rude, inconsiderate, and frankly hazardous…CA has laws about not keeping up with the freeway speed too, which unfortunately is never enforced.
Like I said, if you want to do 60, it’s your choice. Stay in the right lane behind the semi trucks.
And if you’re one of these people who do insist on driving under the speed limit and blocking everyone else behind you, how old are you? Senile?
Thank god big government is on it’s way out. People like you who want to regulate how much C02 I fart out of my ass scare the shit out of me…Hey, I got a perfect date for you. Send a PM to a guy who posts here under the name NewToSanDiego. I’m sure the two of you would do just fine.

ParticipantFlu, I think you are mixing up mpg and mph. The article is about 60 miles per GALLON, and it looks like you are against 60 miles per HOUR (you and Sammy Haggar).
There are bunch of inventors playing with fast and efficient, so you will get both. Where it would get tricky is trucks and collectible cars, they would have to just limit it to new production passenger vehicles, and 60 mpg by 2025 is actually a bit of a disspointment. Tesla got 100mpg’s equivalent and thats just a company of a few hundred who didn;t know dick about cars. Sure they didn’t pull it off exactly as expected, but big money can make it happen, and in just a couple of years. I think our government should intervene, now that it has it’s hands in the auto industry it should put all of it’s efforts into this, we are the biggest consumer of oil. Our landscape is spread out, we would benefit the most from double or triple the mpg’s, is NASA busy right now? Hook up NASA with Apple, get me my damned iCar right now, I want it fast/sexy like a tesla and I want it run my ipod seamlessly. BTW, the Damn germans and japanese manufacturers are only now making iphone friendly cars. My Ford is like 5 years old and it had an aux jack, I’m shopping BMW’s and they didn’t even offer it till 2007, no usb till 2008 and it was an option. A car is just a thing that drives my iphone around, I want it integrated into the stero. Infiniti, lexus, Mercedes, pretty much the same deal. So that is the deal, first car maker to make a car that gets 60 mpg’s, still has room and gets chicks, while seamlessly intergrating my phone, wins.

ParticipantSorry, tg, but iCar? Sorry but that’s the worse idea ever. Want to charge your iCar with a different power plug? Sorry, not a valid accessory. Want to have that fancy new navigation? Sorry, have to pay for a new car to get that. Want to turn on the A/C? Sorry, but Apple don’t think you need A/C and it’s wasting too much gas and energy doing it, so you can’t use it, although it can.
Now, if you say, hookup NASA with Google, that’s the partnership I can get behind :-).
For me, first car that get 60MPG, get to 60MPH in < 5 sec., and run the Nürburgring < 8 minutes win. BTW, CTS-V is almost there. I'm sure if they put a super duper tall 7th gear in where it's traveling 65MPH at 1000 RPM, it might get really close to that 60MPG, assuming the road is flat. Else, the government can just reduce the speed limit down to 40MPH and all the MPG will go way up.
