They are here. Unfortunately, after testing by the EPA, it appears that they actually only get about 36 mpg. The importer has asked for retesting, but it remains to be seen if the EPA is going to do it.

The gas stations in my area didn't wait for the wholesale price to go up. They all just raised the pump price by 25 cents yesterday. Regular unleaded is 2.10 a gallon now.

Here's a question: Why is gas the only commodity that goes up whenever there is even specualtion that crude prices will go up, yet it takes FOREVER to go down?

Hmm, I actually heard they weren't coming for at least a year or so. Got a link to the EPA study? That's interesting that they had such a low mileage. When I went to Italy, nearly everyone that wasn't driving a scooter was driving one of them.
