Money spent doesn't reflect quality of effort.

Carcos were told "burn less gas, and do it cleaner" and they did. There are some pricey parts, but engines today wrench more performance from every gallon and spew less crap than they did when I was a kid.

Most medical research is centered around selling pills- and the gubmint still loves its alcohol and tobacco tax revenue. So what do we get? Clean burning cars on one hand and expensive pills & painful deaths on the other, with a government that just wants a cut of the proceeds.
