I **love** cars. I really do. But as much as I do, in light of fuel prices and dependency, it disturbs me that there seems to be a horsepower war among manufacturers, and consumers are loving it. Do we not understand the relationship between power and consumption? How can we fix this as a society?
In all seriousness, I have a 1992 Mazda with 92 bhp (when it was new...). Admittedly, it's as slow as you might imagine, but I get as much as 36mpg (highway). Today you can barely find a car that gets 36 mpg, now 15 years later!
Yes, I know there *are* cars that get better mpg... But do we have an obsession that needs a cure, or am I off base here?
