This is a shot in the coming fight about CAFE.

Interesting and I have been following this.

Whether the American public understands it or not, smaller more
efficient vehicles are coming and are long over due.

If anyone thought gas prices will stay low, they need to do some
research.

Emissions are another big issue that was buried the last eight years
that is now being dealt with.

And from the looks of it, American companies will not be the producers
of these vehicles.

Indeed, it's high time people pay for their liability coverage by the pound.

If people want to drive an IRON chariot, let them pay the price in insurance
and the additonal damage they cause in an accident.


Hmm...that is an interesting thought.

Pay by the pound...you want a big heavy vehicle then pay the user fee
assigned to it.

What does everyone else think of this?

FYI...I drive older American heavy iron so it would cause my costs to
go up.
