Thank goodness,
I should be dead and gone before they pry my fingers off MY gas guzzler. I was a young teenager during the last gas crisis and I lost my chance to drive the Hemis and big blocks because it wasn't PC to own one. Well now that I'm getting old and gray ( I'm sorry tree huggers) You can kiss my widening flat behind, I'm driving mine like I stole it...

I'm NOT falling for it twice in my lifetime....

I agree! If we have the money to spend for the gas, then screw 'em! Don't they know that there is a part of America that wants it big, muscle car, performance cars! Just because Al Gore wants to drive around in a Hybrid, doesn't mean all of America wants to as well.

The sad thing here is that most SUV's comsume more gas than a lot of the muscle cars! My 05 Durango AWD Limited gets around 12-14 city and 18-19 hwy. My car even with all the mods doen to it averages about 16-17 around town and 24-26 on the open road. Go figure!

Good article though!

I agree with them to a certain extent

You know they can make gas saving V8's and higher performance V6's. Hell, the four bangers have a lot more power than some V8's and V6's. Maybe they'll make bigger four cylinder engines to compensate.

I may only get 15-20mpg, but at least I don't look like a total douche-bag driving a pocket-racer car. Keep your high mileage vehicles, I'm still gettin mine.

I was just thinking yesterday... all the cabs in the big cities (and elsewhere) are almost exclusively V8s and they drive in stop and go city traffic all day long. Get that taken care of, then bitch about Joe Schmo driving his V8.

Audi will almost certainly bring us a diesel version of its spectacular R8 sports car, combining 500 horsepower with a respectable 24 mpg

Diesel's well over the cost of premium and I get 20 mpg.
Now, give me HP equal to that guy and, sure, it's going to be somewhat of a drop.
*shrug*

Ladies and Gents,
Welcome to the mid-seventies.
Keep drivin' it like you stole it, PJ!

You got that right.And thats what i am saying.I work five days a week and i drive 30min to work and 30min back.Work for 8hrs and at home for the other 15hr.How the hell are you going to tell me that if i had a v8 or whatever other engine size thats not hybrid. How am i doing more damage to the environment than the taxis and the buses(don't leave them out.When they move from a complete stop all i see is big ole black puff of smoke going up).My car does not give of black or any other color smoke and neither does any other car that i see on the road...This is BSSS and why does a car brand new of the lot needs an emission test but a car over 20yrs(Sorry classic car collectors) does not(thats the law here in Canada,don't know about the USA) to me thats not making any sense, the newer engine is more efficient
