[QUOTE="Grayson, post: 24102, member: 18"] [b]Re: Oil - Supply and Price[/b] You must live in America. My Car is a 7 seat vehicle crammed full of all the mod-cons, is turbo-charged, has ABS, EBD, AC/CC, DVD and Sat-Nav, Blah-blah-blah. It is 11 months old, bought it from new, and returns 56.5 mpg from a steady 75mph on a motorway. 50mpg carbs (?) electronic fuel injectors please, have been prevelant in the UK and Europe for about a decade (ish) maybe more. The difference between an American Car/Automobile and my French (I ahet the French) built Renault is this. Roughly 3 - 5 litres in engine size and as much as 40 mpg in fuel efficiency. My car has a 1.9 litre Turbo-Diesel, the Chevy that I once owned in the US, had an 8.1 litre engine... 8.1 litres, that's right. We build cars for efficiency and have some cars capable of 80+ mpg already on our roads, yet in America, size is everything. Jaguar cars are built 25 miles from where I live and I have a friend who works there. We buy 2.0 and 2.5 litre Jags and forced the company to build a diesel Jag in the last 2 years. We export 3.2 and 4.2 litre Jags to the US and none of them will be Diesel fuelled. We don't need more efficient cars, we need the US to sign in to the Kyoto agreement and US citizens to buy cars with smaller, more efficient engines, adopt Diesel power and even LPG fuelled cars as we do. Dollar for dollar, you go twice as far with LPG as you do Diesel... I'll be doing 112 mpg for my Diesel pound when I get converted. Oil isn't the issue here, consumption is. [/QUOTE]
