Yeah... it wouldn't be huge. My car's only one model size above a Corolla. A small advance in engine technology could get me there. -Z

JF, > Oh yeah, a HUGE leap!!! VW Golf, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Yaris, MINI Cooper, Honda Civic. Z drives a Lexus ES330, IIRC. True, it isn't a HUGE leap, but most people, especially so-called "environmentalists," want to have their cake and eat it too. Tenchusatsu

John, It seems that your link supports Technu's claim / question: If we really want to reverse the trend in our CO2 emissions, we'd have to make significant sacrifices in our standard of living. And for what? Message 23795900 For most people, driving Mini Cooper or VW Golf a reduction of standard of living. Especially for people over 6' (180cm). Gee, this could be an idea for environmentalists: Lets starve and malnurish our children, so that they don't grow to their full potential. The new "green" midgets will have smaller CO2 "footpring".
