Yes cars are cleaner and more efficient, but my 1978 240D gets better milage than the national standard for the US. My 1979 toyota pickup got 20mpg. Curreny Toyota pickups get maybe a few mpg better. Common we can do better than this. There was no such thing as the internet 15 years ago. And look at it now. Mercedes had a diesel in the 40's the 170D that got 40 mpg. We've come a long way since then and a vast majority of cars in the US dont' get even close to that.


Lance, you never answered my question about what your health is worth to you.
