Gas Prices: Who's to Blame?

elSicomoro · 06-26-2008, 08:04 PM

I love my Cobalt...it has everything I want, and is perfect for me. And because I love this car while being well-aware of the problems of the maker, I am naive. Could someone explain that one to me?

GM management folks don't have drivers licenses? Tw, do you have a source on that?

1997 Honda Accord 4 cyl 5-spd: 22/29
1996 Honda Accord 4 cyl 5-spd: 22/29
1997 Chevrolet Lumina 6 cyl 4-spd: 18/26
1996 Chevrolet Lumina 6 cyl 4-spd: 18/26

Then let me throw in my previously posted information:

1993 Chevy Cavalier: 26/33
1993 Honda Civic: 35/41
1993 Toyota Corolla: 23/31
1993 Mazda 323: 25/33

All this information is available here. Looks like GM was at least keeping up...unless you believe in the mileage conspiracy that tw mentioned previously. I would believe something like that--25 years ago. Tw also never answered my question about the 40mpg standard that apparently existed in 1993.

For someone that likes to throw around the phrase, "Facts be damned," it seems like tw is acting like management at GM, sticking his fingers in his ears and yelling, "Lalalalalalalala!" I think if we did a scientific study, we would find that 85% of all current Cellar unhappiness has been caused by tw.

Look, Tom, you've already been taken to school at least twice in this thread. Walk away, man. Or at least, come up with some original posting...you're posting retreads that you've probably posted 9 or 10 times before over the past 7 years.
