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.

    Stnadards not tugh enough

    Good greif. I gave up my gaz guzzling U.S made cars years ago. I have been driving Toyotas and Acuras since the 1980s, and getting better milage than teh new standards set by congress. In 1990. I took a trip 1/2 way accross the country, over the rockies in my 1986 Toyota Celica. Not ony did my car never loose power, as I passed all the American made cars going up steep grades,but I got 50 miles per galon on this road trip. I was laready getting mroe than 36 per gallon in the city.

    Younger genration is polluting the planet for ther own children by driving them "everyhwere" in gas guzzling SUVs.

    The Democrats are being gutless wonders on this issue. The Republicans could care less or are in denial about climate change, the US population is "unclear on the concept" of "sarafice". In my neigborhood, all the older people are buying Toyota Prius, younger fmailies have 3-4 cars and more than one SUV and all their nannies show up in SUVs
