Should we have a big national push for energy conservation?
gokart121 asked:
If everyone in america reduced their fuel use by 30% annually, would that make a difference?
I wish the Big 3 would re-release a simple, all-manual, no-frills 4-banger pickup with a 5-speed manual trans. Heavy springs and stiff frame/good brakes give you payload carrying capacity, the 4-banger and the 5-speed gearset give you an economical way to move it from A to B. Buuuut, all the shitboxes they’ve sold as ‘pickups’ for the last 10 years all have an insanely high GVW, fuel-swilling engines, and every option known to man including some that only belong on the shuttle. Over-marketed crap still doesn’t get to the zone of real economical operation, there’s trade-offs in life, I can’t wait until Mazda or somebody builds such a truck in the US and makes it run on hydrogen(which can be made, like, at the coast, for relatively cheap, truth be known). But, the Big 3 will change…in a pig’s ass, maybe…shoes are still 100% energy-efficient…
