Stock up on food now. Hyperinflation is on its way. triffid

And Dodge is running a commercial for their new improved Durango that gets an amazing 23 MPG on the highway, and like 18 in the city. WOW !
Next time you fill up your gas. guzzler at the pump, and laugh at someone for riding in a funny looking Prius, look instead in the mirror and open your wallet, now that is something more to laugh at.
If your gonna buy a new car in 2011, demand that it gets around 40 MPG on the Highway.
Demand that the USA starts taking in more Smart Diesel Cars that get around 60 MPG,
And Stop laughing at the little cars, and start laughing at the Passenger Cars that come with HEMI's in them.
When they start rationing gasoline again, like they did in the 70s, how many miles will you be able to travel with your 5 gallon every other day limit?
Suggestion: Borrow your friend's Prius, you can go maybe 300 mile on 5 gallons.
I still blame Regan for doing away with the MPG improvement legislation when he got into office.
We could have forced the Detroit cars to have gotten closer to 50 MPG average driving by now.
Enjoy your new Durango with voice activated everything, and the Diet Coke Dispenser.
