So you're saying wife is only half as much a pig as teevee's wife? Are you arguing that inefficient cars don't raise the deficit Very very marginally. How much you drive be a very important factor. Also if the fuel efficient car is made with a bunch of nickel from outside the country, it would have a big effect on the trade deficit from the getgo that might take years of efficient fuel use to offset. , fund terrorism Nope. or raise the COL? Nope. Are you saying a Prius isn't an exceptionally efficient vehicle? Only counting the gasoline use. Count the metals, not so efficient. Are you saying that because is car uses any gas at all it's not an improvement over a gas guzzler? Marginal. And you need to look at more than just mpg. Unless you want to be simple-minded about it. --------------------------------------------- In buying a Prius, you've made a consumer choice. If it pleases you, good. But the whole idea you've done something virtuous, patriotic, or intelligent ...... you're fooling yourself.
