John H,

GMpartsguy would call your (mostly fair) critique of Archetoothis' SUPERCARB idea a 'DIATRIBE OF DEATH'. Shame on you. :p

Archetoothis,

I agree with every word you said other than a carbed car with triple fuel economy. But not to worry. I am driving a Toyota Prius Hybrid car which almost triples the economy to 50 MPG.

You are absolutely right. Bush-Cheney, his buddies in the OIL and CAR industries are suppressing fuel efficient technologies. Ford just dropped their natural gas fueled vehicle program. For every Hybrid Ford Escape (which is based on Japanese technology) they will produce 5 Ford Excursions (which is based on American technology - Sherman Tank). Instead of armor-plating our military Humvies for free, GM is gold-plating Hummer II for PROFIT.

PROFITS are more important to them than the environment and energy independence. They can always send some more soldiers to Iraq to die for their PROFITS.
