The government will give you $3500-$4500 towards a new car if you trade in your old gas guzzler. If you own a 1984 or newer vehicle that has been insured and registered to you for the past year and gets a "combined" 18 miles to the gallon or less, you can qualify. The amount you get depends on the estimated miles per gallon you increase to by trading in.
I LOVE THIS NEXT PART!
The EPA has changed the way it estimates MPG.
Starting in model year 2008, estimates reflect the effects of;
1. Faster Speeds & Acceleration
2. Air Conditioner Use
3. Colder Outside Temperatures
I especially love that last one...WHAT HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING?
For any of us with a brain, and who pay a little attention, we know that since the introduction of corn subsidies and methanol...YOUR GAS MILLAGE HAS DECREASED BY AT LEAST 10 PERCENT, and in some cases as much as 20 percent. That is the real reason for the millage adjustment. Why does our government lie to us? Do they really think we are ALL that stupid.
You can check your cars "NEW" estimated MPG here;

I check in everyday and some are better than others. I don't think Brent has anything to do with the forum anymore, but I'm not sure. Hopefully as time moves on the forum will get better.
Where is everybody?
