Fuel Economy Debate Heats Up

As long as there are people out there buying big fuel hungry, inefficient vehicles, the manufacturers are going to make them. It all comes down to market demand and the forces of free enterprise - now I wonder why the small fuel efficient imports are selling so well in the US -Hmmmmmm

Big people need big vehicles - maybe it's a whole lifestyle thing
