Let’s see him be a real leader for a change, and start traveling everywhere on Moped One.
I wonder if they will be imported from China? 😆
Nope, Kenya! 😉
Errr. Indonesia! LMAO!
Back in the late 1980’s I drove an old (at the time) diesel Rabbit pickup (rebuilt from pieces of various other vehicles) that got around 50 mpg. Top speed up a typical hill was about 40 mph. But at least it had a place to carry things.
I currently drive a 15 yr old SUV that gets 10 mpg in the city, but only drive about 1000 miles/year. I need it to tow various trailers a few times a year. My gas guzzler uses half the gas of a Prius owner who drives 10,000 miles/year. Maybe I should demand EPA climate justice payments for my smaller carbon bootprint 🙂
Provided the EPA and DOT define mpg based on a driving distance that is less than the all-battery capability of a fully charged electric or hybrid car, the mpg can be set to any arbitrarily high number to satisfy fleet-averaged goals. Together with exclusion of certain types of vehicles such as SUV’s and pickup trucks, the 55 mpg fleet-average goal is easily achieved on paper tomorrow, but completely disconnected from mpg-averages on America’s roads.
My 10-year-old Hyundai (European) diesel SUV is now at around 17-23mpg. I think it started at 28mpg.
I’d be happy to swap for a new one but (a) they don’t make that model any longer, (b) all other SUVs I know in the UK are ugly and/or expensive, (c) what a waste it would be of a great and faithful car that is still brand new in many respects.
I say, 55pmg is a great goal PROVIDED THAT (1) it is mandated FOR VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR OR BETTER FEATURES than today’s and (2) it spells out clearly what it will be done and AT WHAT EXPENSE, with all the old cars.
Otherwise it will all result in a massive piles of pointless rubbish as everybody’s life is made very, very difficult.
I had a scooter like that. It was a Yamaha. I loved it.
I saw a guy riding a scooter down the freeway tonight. And it was dark. What a dumb f@#k!!
Well it should have lights or visible reflectors on it.
What happened here?
