Something not mentioned but very important is Ethanol.

Ethanol mixed with gasoline reduces the MPG.

Ethanol has less energy per gallon. I wouldn’t be surprised that adding 10% Ethanol costs 5% on MPG.

If they can use ethanol efficiently and without subsidy, that’s fine with me. I want cheap energy and energy independence.

Another “not mentioned” thing... Government MPG Tests have been done with “standard equipment wheels and tires”, rather than the most ordered Wheels and Tires.

There is an ugly rumor that Pelosi and Gore will set a new standard. A standard that will BAN dealerships from offering Optional wheels or tires “that might lower MPG numbers”.
