More will always trump less -- Message from Seth Godin

I cannot concur more wholeheartedly with Seth on this one. Let's put a gas mileage indicator on both the inside and outside of cars -- better gas mileage will become more noticeable and, perhaps, people will pay attention and want MORE...

...fuel efficiency rather than horsepower (though I do believe we can have the trifecta -- better efficiency, lower pollution, AND greater horsepower -- it's all in the very inefficient design of the internal combustion engine. More than 1/2 the gasoline we "burn" is wasted. Way more.)

It's about time Washington did its job on fuel economy standards

It's been quite a while since the CAFE standards lapsed, with Washington's politicians turning a blind eye towards global warming, dependence on foreign oil, and funding terrorists.

Let's face it: Every time each of us fuels our fat SUV, we're sending a terrorist to suicide school. Kind of like the United Way fighting hunger. Only worse. Much, much worse.
