Re: Fuel Prices
Americans do not need a 5500lb Ford Expedition or Dodge Ram 4x4 that gets 13mpg as a commuter car. The SRT10 gets 9, yes, 9mpg in the city according to EPA estimates. 9 friggen miles per gallon.
Another thing. Americans live 20, 50, even 100 miles away from where they work. If the citizens can't afford gas, it's time for a lifestyle change. I ride my motorcycles more. I live 3.5mi away from where I work and put less than 8000mi/yr on my Explorer, which gets between 17-24mpg. All city in the winter, 17. A mix is right around 19-20, and the freeway it gets about 23-24. 9mpg. That's ridiculous. Cars today getting 15mpg. About the same as my dad's old 1978 Lincoln Town Car with the 460ci V-8. 22ft long and 5000lbs with a 7.6L V-8 using 30 year old technology. I do agree that the middle class is being exterminated as the gap between the rich and the poor accelerates. |
