Good!
They will deserve the business...and Detroit will deserve to go OUT
of business.
You would have thought that Detroit would have learned its lesson
back in the '70s when we had the first oil crisis. But, no. 25
years later, Detroit was pushing out the SUVs and Americans were
buying 'em.
I've always had small cars that consumed little gas...not because
I'm some sort of environmentalist...I'm not and don't believe for a
minute in global warming.
I like small cars because I enjoy saving money. My best car for
that was an '83 Volkswagen Jetta Diesel in which I got about 60
miles to the Imperial Gallon on the highway (that's about 48 MPG,
American). I put on 350,000 kilometers on that car.

Tell them you will not trade the Arctic Refuge for $100 or be fooled
by policies that do nothing to solve the real problem of America's
dangerous dependence on oil. Urge them to get to work on cutting oil
consumption by improving the mileage of our cars and promoting clean
and renewable energy.

dollars -- and sign it over to ExxonMobil for their next two tanks
of gas.
