Cars...even a higher bonus...

Small monies now to r/d what shoulda been done years ago to produce cars(2 seater) that have a 35MPG + capacity.

In this manner we take steps to minimize waste and plow on with Efficiency....a double return for the same monies invested...

1. I get 35 mpg with my Ford.
I have a 2005 Ford Escort. I get 35mpg with it. It's got 144,000 miles on it now. The only thing I had to have done to it was to replace the alternator. I was a little leary when I chose this car because Escorts had a bad rep a few years ago. I'm really happy with my baby.

2. I think we should aim a little higher.
And actually right off the mpg standard altogether.

mpKw = miles per kilowatt.
