Even if they really did get good gas mileage and as you point out, that is not necessarily the case with this program. I expect in most cases the CO2 emissions caused by the manufacture and transport of these new cars outweigh any savings in gas mileage these cars have.Festerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18282789796125211475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8771666371746650057.post-54718719724265518412009-08-10T06:52:32.693-05:002009-08-10T06:52:32.693-05:00You want the Republicans back?

It has succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. It was supposed to last until Halloween, but managed to achieve the stated goal within a week.

Why? Because that's the market segment that non-UAW, er, make that, non-US auto mfr's excel in.
