I can see it now. One of these bozos is going to buy a Peterbilt. Then what will be the result?
Without government mandate in the form of higher tax, or economic mandate, in the form of higher fuel prices, these *****boxes will continue to proliferate.
Is everyone aware that the United States now consumes 20% more fuel today than when GWB took office, four years ago?

I think you meant you completly disagree. The 20% increase (if that is accurate) would be because there are more people working and the economy is bouncing back plus the regular growth in the economy which is more in line with what is really hapenning. Only an environmentalcase would think punishing people into poverty by losing their jobs and increasing prices with taxes to enrich the already rich politicians is a good way to conserve....
