back in the fifties there was a few engineers who made a few changes to the carburetors and made those huge giant non computer cars get 50 -65 miles per gallon..yes back then...and they and all of their inventions disappeared..and there has been a few movies made about them..and no one can find them..they were not working together..they were two separate instances..so if they could do it back then...then with the computer run cars of today..they should be able to get at least 50 from small cars and at least 35 or more from pick ups trucks and regular cars..why..because the oil companies and the car companies are in t together...and if you can dig deep enough you will find they have money if each others companies..so they do not want to get better gas mileage..
but if they all got 70 miles per gallon..don't you think gas would cost 15 dollars per gallon..so we do need to STOP using gas
and use corn oil, or hydrogen & electric, period.
we need to STOP using any fule sold by the now gas producing countries..now not ten years form now..
we ahve to write all our government people and MAKE them make the car companies get going NOW on this one..and also peopel like Binladen will lose gas money for their countries will not be selling any! ! !
good luck

diesel. they're already there ,cheap, outlast gas engines and get better MPG. they're even a little peppier. here's proof:

fuel/air ratios needed to operate properly:
fuel type: parts air:parts fuel
gasoline: 14.7:1.
diesel: 100:1-10:1 and anywhere in between.

I'm not saying a 1-ton dually will get 40MPG. steer clear of those beasts. what you want is a Volkswagen TDI. they have quite a few differant models, and they burn the same diesel fuel any other diesel uses. you can get them with standard or automatic tranny, they're just as quiet as the gas engines and a tad peppier. diesels produce more torque, more torque = more pep. they also use less fuel to do this. they'll also last forever, properly maintained you may get 300,000 miles out of them before they start to blue smoke, and even then they'll go another 50K before they acually blow if you keep the oil topped off. that's somewhere around 20 years, give or take a couple. it's worth it

I think the price of the hy-brids out weighs the savings of gas. Not worth it in my opinion,If money is the question. But better for the enviroment. The honda civic and accord are the most fuel efficient for the price. And also the depreciation value is very good. Versus hy-brids. Hope my opinion could help.

walking, biking, or public transportation. if you must have one, get a diesel, or hybrid. they are a little more expensive but will pay for themselves in the long run. they are also getting better and cheaper.
