Pure Automotive Techno-Lust
From that day till this, I've owned an assortment of vehicles as un-cool as a Ford Aerostar van (which spit out its transmission in the most inconvenient place imaginable) and as neat as my new Toyota Prius (the second new car I ever owned). But while I've had a fondness for some of these vehicles, they were only passing affairs. The little silver RX-7 still sits in storage unit back in Kentucky, waiting for those summer days when I bring it out into the sunshine and play at being a college student again.
But honey, I hate to break it to you: you're going up on eBay. I've found a new love.

Future Car: What will you be driving?
In fact, despite the rising costs of fuel, statistics out last week show that the average MPG grew from 21 MPG in 2005 to.... 21 MPG in 2006.
But if there's one sure thing, it's that it will get worse. As Jerome a Paris has detailed in his series of diaries, there's every evidence that the post-Katrina rise in oil prices is only a prelude to what's to come. There's little to no capacity for expansion on the production end of the pipe, and an ever greater demand sucking at the other end. You couldn't ask for a better formula for demonstrating the effects of supply and demand on prices. Forget "price gouging." That's only a distraction. Oil prices are going to go up, and there's next to nothing any president or congress can do to prevent it.
So... what then? Do we have to sit and take it on the chin? Just exactly what are the options? How will you get to work five years from now? How about ten?

Would you believe... 300 MPG!
Why am I interested in this little white 2 seater? Because it's projected to get 330 MPG that's why.
Bring in this car, and forget the oil crisis.
