Truckers' strike/slowdown

I forgot to mention...I just went for a job interview out in the southern suburbs, and decided to see how well I could do mileage-wise. 40mpg at 64mph...the EPA rates the '07 Cobalt at 31. Fuck yeah!

GM does this little trick so that the only valid gasoline mileage requires multiple tanks. They forget to put in the hose that lets air out of the tank. Then one tank will be 40 while another will be 28. The naive then only remember the 40.

Let's see. My much larger Honda accord has averaged 31.7 (mostly local driving) over the past 100 gallons. 40 MPG is standard mileasge for Cobalt sized cars even 15 years ago. Even my Honda Civic from 10 years ago did three consecutive tanks of 46, 48, and 47 on the highway. 40 MPG implies that GM engineers were finally permitted to use last decade's technology.
