Ted, > The point is the guys who enjoy muscle cars can do so without increasing our oil imports. That is the point.

/facepalm


Really?

Actually, I think you're full of BS. I don't think you get half of what's being posted on this thread. In fact, I think you're winging it.

No... that was, in fact, my point. Ted understood it, and you did not.

There is a portion of the populace that will buy muscle cars regardless of their gas mileage. If they're going to buy the cars anyway, then the fact that the cars they do buy use 20% less fuel matters.
