It's kind of sad that the best I can expect from my Kia Spectra is 32mpg (and that's not much of a car!). I'm all about saving the money. I still think that there needs to be not only incentives to get people to buy these kinds of cars, but we need to get the giant Hummers and Suburbans off the road. If the law of supply and demand is true (which is really not in doubt), then the more gas we use, the more it costs. If it was possible to switch out all SUVs with small sedans like mine that get twice the milage, we'd see gas prices go down overnight because people wouldn't be buying 40 gallons of gas every week (or more often)! I typically buy only 1 tank of gas a week (10 gallons).<BR/><BR/>But of course, as a market-based incentive, high fuel-economy cars are a start.Nat-Wuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378831467642601979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22913587.post-1146718364014043372006-05-03T23:52:00.000-05:002006-05-03T23:52:00.000-05:00Haha, I just noticed that it doesn't have doors. ...Haha, I just noticed that it doesn't have doors. Maybe it does the De Lorean thing.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, according to Ed Schultz and several online sources, this car will be available worldwide in 2009. No reports on the cost.Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00021020679332430458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22913587.post-1146710706006669822006-05-03T21:45:00.000-05:002006-05-03T21:45:00.000-05:00As Vanity Fair says, green is the new black.

What are the chances these will ever make it stateside?texas toadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10672035982915476070noreply@blogger.com
