Hip, hip, CAFE!

Some Dems celebrate a new Senate bill to boost gas mileage. But it's premature to toast the end of our high-octane bender.

    Toyota's NOT holy, people

    All you guys praising Holy Toyota and its Pretty Prius, you're kidding yourselves. You know what vehicle Toyota's spent the most money in the last three years developing and marketing?

    That would be the Toyota Tundra. A full-size pickup that gets about 14 mpg. Also the Lexus IS 350 (18 mpg) and 250 (21 mpg). And the LX 400, 18 mpg.

    Toyota's like every other automaker. It's in the business to make money. And Americans, with the joys of cheap gas, choose big vehicles with high horsepower. And small, fuel-efficient vehicles -- hybrid or not -- sit on the lot.
