I agree that the issue isn't the high hp cars. High HP cars do not rack up nearly as many mile or gallons of fuel burned compaird to full size SUV's.
If you want the national average fuel economy to go up....try banning full size SUV's. Maybe it's just me, but I don't get the whole my SUV is bigger than your's mantality. I just don't get why you need to drive something so huge when you are the lone occupant. Most of the time it's just one person in it when I drive by one. (Yes, my daily driver is my company mini-van...  .....full of parts). |
Every vehicle I own, gets poor to crappy fuel economy...but in my defense, I live 6 miles from my office and I live in a relatively small town. I would be willing to bet there are a lot of people who own small cars, driving 2 hours to work in traffic that use a hell of alot more fuel than I do. Thats the bottom line, how much fuel we burn...not what MPG we get!
