- I said fuel consumption will never decrease much unless cars are
much lighter, but even radically lighter vehicles are no long-term
solution on this overpopulated planet

Amen! I keep telling people that, and they look at me like I'm some
kind of idiot.

You have also told us how you like to drive your big import illegally
fast and tried to rationalize it by claiming that among the vehicle's
luxury features is that it runs more efficiently at high speed.

I didn't rationalize anything. However I do agree that leftist
weenies should be taxed more heavily to support my excesses ;-)

And I certainly have no problem with YOU driving a tin can, just NOT
my children and grandchildren ;-)

OOHH!. Think of the children...

You sound like a leftist weenie.

Please explain again the more-efficient-at-higher-speed feature.


I don't ever recall saying "more-efficient-at-higher-speed".

But I guess it WOULD depend on your definition. The engine is
optimized right around 3000RPM (85MPH), but external drag is higher.
