auto parts stores

repair shops

tire companys

it did to some degree save some fuel sure

but it was and still is a mess the way they just through tax payer money at a program that was to last 2 years - ended up 2 months i think and they had to stop it as the cars being sold did nothing for the USA

( japan ) yea dont tell me toyopet is an american car puting in a dozen bolts to an already painted and assembled unit shipped from japon it not BUILDING a car in the USA

60% were foregion cars doing nothing but taking US tax dollars and sending it over to another country
