"The Energy Independence & Security Act...is a step in the right
direction to reduce America's addiction to fossil fuels. But those who
are suspicious of a bill green-lighted by both houses of Congress, the
auto and oil industries, and an oil-patch White House are probably
right to withhold applause."

Cars will have to shed half their weight. That means aluminum alloys,
carbon fibre, plastics, smaller glass panels, to name a few. Even the
slightest grade or acceleration causes my instantaneous mpg to drop
precipitiously because I'm carrying so much dead weight.

Modern cars do pretty well on flat roads at moderate, steady speeds. Any
other operating parameters kills mgp for the simple reason is they're twice
as heavy as modern technology can make them.

Most of those A-Holes in congress have quite a diverse oil company stock portfolio &
could care less about our "real" energy problems only that their stocks stay up.
