- chemosapien, on 04/23/2008, -2/+0oh yeah this is great..but why is the EU standard 40 mpg right now? US is still way behind
- TJATL, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2The US is behind in the amount of government intervention in commerce? Thank god we aren't a full blown socialist country yet!
- TJATL, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1Government mandated standards are worthless. If only people understood that every time they buy something they are casting an economic vote in favor of that product/company, then they would realize that cutting into the pocket books of companies means a hell of a lot more then the government forcefully regulating an industry.
