I'm glad you pointed that out Charlie.
In fact, the people collectively
have been doing their share to make this world a better place.
They got some help from the car companies, too, didn't they?
My first car (a 1956 Olds Holiday) got 8 miles to the gallon.
But here's soemthing I DO NOT understand...
Why can't I get a Perkins 4 cyl. diesel that gets 50-55 mpg
in my Ranger? They're sold in England, I'm told.
Why must I drive a truck that only gets 25-30 mpg?
Clearly we have more to do to pressure our government to help us help ourselves.
