People tend to forget the imports were "born" in countries were gas always costed a lot so they tned to be masters of the art of high MPG while Detriot has long been the master on gas guzzlers and does not want to change its ways. Some US model "promise" good MPG but you you own them you find that some manufacture EPA ratings are more fiction than fact. Take Dodge, in 2008 they are yet again going to try to market the hemi SUV as fuel efficent vehicle in the mask of a hybrid using some GM technology. Rather than reinventing the vehical and concept they keep trying to keep the old one alive. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com
