    Does 35 mpg really matter when gas will most likely be $6 - $10 in five years?

    Many scientists believe we do not have enough fossil fuels left to burn to set in motion the most dire global warming predictions.

    That said, 35 MPG doesn't mean a thing. Hopefully, the oil production decline will be a "jagged plateau" rather than a swift drop, and those with the funds available will pour them into research and development for new energy sources.
