and what ever happened to the old Smoky Yunick method of extracting greater power from fuel by vaporizing it before ignition instead of the usual. I remember that from pop mechanics 50 years ago, they buried it. FI breaks up the liquid into smaller particles but that is still not enough.
If there weren't any lobbyists blocking legislation there would or will be taxes rated for fuel consumption/vehicle. Trucks have road use taxes.
A lot of people are not going to like the prospect of driving a tiny car, they are addicted to safety especially when they see a couple crumpled up midsize at the site of an accident because ONE driver wasn't paying attention. He was male and argueing with his wife and the driver assist wasn't good enough to catch it.
BTW, have a nice one today at least
