>> The guys who enjoy driving street-legal assault vehicles can do so without increasing our oil imports!

I saw on the news yesterday that the Hummer h2/h3 are the most ticketed vehicles on the road for traffic violations. Followed in places 2 & 3 by two of the three Scion models. Not sure what that means except that once you graduate to a hummer all bets are off.

Inode, you think Ted, Z, and others would be impressed if Hummer improved the gas mileage of their H2 from 11 to 13 MPG? OMG, that would be an increase of 18%!

Are you worried that going forward the US may not be the biggest consumer of oil in the world?

"Impressed" isn't the word. A bit less irked, yeah. If we can't reduce the number of people who buy Hummers, it's good if we can increase their gas mileage. It's progress. Not sure what part of that you don't get.
