[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 363606, member: 2189"] I dedicate this post to Brett who posted in another thread about the high mileage VW Diesel (70 mpg) that currently because of gov't regulation ie no free market is not sold in America. Also Brett showed good judgement IMO in checking the emotions and expressed the thinking of maintaining a hands off approach to market intervention by gov't in this time of oil prices and the economic crisis that comes with it. Now to the best part. I give you the VW One Liter Based on just going to and from work in one of these, I could go a full year on the amount of fuel I now use in about a month. Could you imagine the shockwaves to the middle east or for that fact to the oil industry period if we could see that kind of reduction across the board? And here's the bonus. We shut the "enviro-wackos" up with a massive reduction in greenhouse gases while our goal is really economic savings and telling the middle east to go eat their sand. I know it's tough but we're Americans and if anybody on earth can lead the way out and show that freedom and free markets work, it is US! JMO. Brett, thought of you the moment I read this piece. Thanks man! [/QUOTE]
