For some reason, auto manufacturers (at least in the U.S.) do not seem to be highly motivated.
Your damn skippy...and I don't understand it either. I drive a vehicle that gets crappy mileage (although I went with a small truck with a V6 instead of V8 to try and save a little...turns out to be just as bad). Will you just LOOK at how many Hummers are out there getting 9mpg - it's rediculous. Even with the gas prices nearly doubling they're STILL selling these bahemouths. I just don't get it. If I were in the market for another vehicle you bet fuel mileage will be on the top of this list. However, I think we're going to have to get to 3 or 4 dollars per gallon before the rest of America will wake up.
