Glad to know I'm not alone in agitating not for 30mpg cars, nor 40, 50 or 60, but rather the unceremonious death of the internal combustion engine altogether, and good riddance -- lest we squeeze the continent of every last drop before its inevitable exhaustion, leaving our coastlines and national parks irrevocably plundered and befouled for all time... (since, clearly, big oil has little interested in cleaning up their messes, as a trip out the 33 readily evinces...)

It amazed me - was never totally aware of the conspiracy that was conspired by GM. And now? They are asking for money. Rick Wagoner, ceo of GM at the time said that his worst decision was "Axing the EV1 electric-car program and not putting the right resources into hybrids. It didn’t affect profitability, but it did affect image." Funny how the mighty have fallen. Just watched this last night.
