Sad. They are paying the price now. Right now our gov't is showing very little interest in science and technology education funding. We are currently the worlds most technologically advanced country. In 10 years, we will not be.

It's amazing how quickly whole industries can fall to crap when the proprietors think they are entitled to pre-eminence, instead of fostering the conditions for pre-eminence.

About 8-10 years ago both Ford and GM were well ahead of the Japanese with their high mileage projects. But because US government showed little interest and the short term economic outlook thus looked gloomy, they killed those projects.

During the 90s, I agree with you that Congress did not push the car companies over the issue of mileage but I never saw any evidence that Detroit was catching up with Japan on this point.
