      Meanwhile, automakers like Suzuki and Volkswagon are making vehicles which get anywhere from 50 to 90 MPG, and our government is blocking their importation into the US.

      In 2003, VW made a two-seater vehicle (the Lupo 1L) which was roadworthy and got over 240 MPG at freeway speeds.

      They never took it into production. We have the technology to have cars running on vegetable oil and getting over 200 mpg. We are not doing it.

      You decide where this administration REALLY stands on cutting fuel usage.

          Someone please tell me what congress is doing to reduce our dependence on foreign oil? We need the president and congress to work together to find a solution to this very real problem.

            We could put a huge dent in the 20% by having carpool Wednesdays. I am shocked with all the war stuff over the years, Bush never asked us to sacrifice by reducing our oil consumption.
