I dont know if youre keeping up with current events but a Honda Accord used to get 35 mpg back in the day. I saw a sticker on a showroom floor on an Accord recently that said 16 mpg. They must weight 3000 pounds plus. |

Yeah, the weight issue has to change in cars in order for us to advance. We got to the moon, didn't we? People need to "right size" according to their needs and half the battle is done. I drive a Yaris because I: drive 99% of the time by myself, don't carry any sort of cargo 99% of the time. When I commute to work every morning the majority of cars have one person in them.

You are right. People today are car crazy. In 1980 I bought a Subaru Hatchback (1.6 liter, $4600) and you had to wait 6 weeks for it! Small cars were big sellers then.
What happened to IQs i wonder? |
