I have not checked the 'miles-per-gallon' on a car I have owned since the
1970's. Younger, curious and other people would ask then so...??

I purchase a vehicle because I like its style/design/function, etc. Perhaps if I owned a fleet of vehicles (IE: business) I would reconsider. For personal use, I don't give a flip about mileage, I drive what I want to drive.

And as for saving the environment, consider this: If someone tomorrow, invented a new fuel that in (let's say for arguments sake) 5 years, would economically replace oil ...what do you think all the oil producing countries would do? Well, the price would magically DROP LIKE A ROCK and we would see oil at prices that would compete with that NEW competition or, more than likely, beat it. (Think they will just roll over on their cash cow?)

I hope it happens, but I'm not holding my breath.

Drive what YOU want and let the next guy/gal do the same.

Amazingly worthless thread (the bickering) for a car enthusiasts site!
