Corporate fuel averages did force the big auto manufacturers to produce cars to use less gas. They did, We went on a gas diet for a little while,and when things seemed a little better,we rewarded ourseves with news cars with just a little more power,and a little more comfort. In just a few years these became 4x4 SUV's with ac,global locator,heated leather seats etc. Seems like we are the enemy that needs to be dealt with Hank
