I love my V8s. I have always, and will always like old cars, and even some of the newer generations of muscle. A friend has a 2006 Z06, if you go for a ride in something like that, it's hard to wipe the smile off of your face. But good grief, not for everyday use! "Experts" like the guy that wrote that tripe (he must be an expert, it said right in the article that he spent a whole two days looking up hypermiling on the internet! Heaven forfend that he actually, oh I don't know, maybe talk to someone that knows something about it in person! Though then he'd have to actually do more work, and wouldn't be able to use copy/paste to pad out his article), telling people how great a new SUV is when a Civic would be just fine for their use is just letting him keep his job, and not doing the rest of us any good.
