Default Re: Forget the B-J, OCC, & Ted Nugent stuff !

I am very frustrated with the whole fuel consumption/fuel mileage issue.
A report the other day said that the average fuel economy of new vehicles is the same now as it was 20 yrs ago!!!! WTF are the manufacturers doing?!? I can't believe they are building trucks and SUVs that weigh 6000 lbs and get nearly single digit gas mileage and worse yet people are buying them!!
My 400hp 2001 Camaro SS with 3.73 gears (and a 6-speed manual which is double overdrive) still gets almost 30 mpg on the highway.
