cduluk Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 It's gotta happen someday, eventually fuel WILL run out. But not yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smooth1 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 See, I have a problem with government mandating. It's actually part of the problem. If people stop buying Escalades and start buying Versa's then the Escalades go away on thier own. We don't need the government regulating this. Don't they have real problems to focus on? This is stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pj8708 Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 Given the position of automakers in the beginning, that higher mileage couldn't be done as well as less polluting autos. And the current position that better mileage can't be done, would we have gotten this far without mandates? Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if your going where I think your going, then sometimes I believe a measure that brings about change for the common good against someone or something that is harmful to all is necessary. i.e. anti air pollution, unleaded gasoline. On the other hand, trying to legislate all of ones personal behavior, such as must drive a hybrid, no way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
