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.

    The speed limit is usually 55 MPH...

    ...so why do we need vehicles with speedometers that climb to 150 MPH and go 0-60 in 3 seconds? How bout we eliminate the 6 extra speeds to reach 150 MPH and make it 0-55 in 15 seconds.

    We can deliver a human being to a rock orbiting our planet almost 40 years ago but we can't manage to increase our mileage at all in those 40 years?

    You have to want to.
