Given the current discussion of CAFE standards and 60 mph hummers, I thought this was an interesting article....
http://www.energybulletin.net/stories/2011-08-01/100-mpg-gasoline-could-we-really
but then I'm a geek.
My one beef: I think we should use a gallons per mile (like the euro 'liters per 100 km') spec. Going from 25 mpg to 50 mpg saves as much gas as going from 50 mpg to infinity mpg. Not very intuitive.
