I have a copy of popular mechanics from 1958 with an article on MPG rallies and contests. Another article polls readers on what they want from Detriot. Guess what? Top of the list is better fuel economy. 50 years of automakers shafting consumers... My bet is that they will find a way to do it again. Corporate culture is rotten. Compost it. Ecodriving is yet another co-opted slogan for something not Eco at all. Like sustainable oil fields. What's next? Sustainable war? Wait, that one's taken too. My question is why have they not been doing this all along? Love and carbon neutral hugs, Marcus. This kind of thing pops up again every time gas prices rise.
