Crappy little cars are another good reason to ride the train instead. Not if the Metropolitan Transportation Districts are run as reparations, and the affirmative-actioned MSD bureaucrats allowed to loot and steal just because of the color of their skin.

Might as well mandate 1000 mpg. The internal combustion engine is probably nearing its limits as far as what’s technically feasible now. Notice that is feasible, not profitable or useful.

So we will all be driving motorcycles and scooters? Great. Where do I put the groceries?
To: Willie Green
Why not 1000 MPG?
Seriously, with this line of thinking why didn’t they just legislate safe, room temperature fusion into existence?

If gas mileage was just a question of legislation, why don’t they just set it at 100 mph?

Great. Where do I put the groceries?There won't be any food, so it's a win-win.

My vacant lot next door is going to acquire a metal building that will hold several cars. Time to hoard them just like ammo. I’m 61, no need to buy another new car, ever.

OK, I’m going to ‘splain this once. See, to get 62 MPG, you can either spends billions on research into efficiencies and weight savings and all sorts of new technology, or you can make a car that gets 31 MPG get twice that by simply halving (sort of, I chose to use the same numbers but rearrange them) the distance a mile is.
(Kinda why I threw in the 57 states part)

Instead of leasing like we usually do, we purchased a Ford Flex. We are planning on keeping it until we bury it. They won’t take my big vehicle from me!!!!

Why stop at 62, why not make it 100?
