And who's fault is that?

when there is an insurrection in this country when gas gets to be $5 a gallon and one of the big? 3 gets burned to the ground you might see one.
it always confused me why we can produce fairly emission free auto but we just "can't" or wont put out a vehicle that gets good mileage. i'm no engineer but is that such a difficult project?
no i don't expect a vehicle that gets good mileage to go from 0>60 mph in 2 seconds. or is that perhaps where the problem lies. we americans like fast cars thats for sure. as a kid i don't remember one conversation with my contemparies where anybody said the got xxmiles per gallon. it was always who could turn the quarter in 12 seconds or less.
and fabs, if you can show me how to get 10 bales of hay and four bags of food supplement in one of thse prius's i'll be glad to buy one.
sure would cut down on my expenses.
