Nonsense. Gasoline at $5 per gallon is cheap. plthijinx's V-6 does 18 MPG. What I got with a carbureted in-line six even after I designed and upgraded it with an electronic ignition ... in 1970. Forty years later and technology is no better? Exactly. Because gasoline even at $7 per gallon is so cheap.

One can ‘feel’ it is expensive. Or one can be politically incorrect, blunt, and honest. Make a decision after learning facts and numbers. Your feelings are irrelevant. (Resistance is futile. Think outside the cube.) Facts are always more important. Gasoline is so ridiculously cheap that more than eight of every 10 gallons burned in a vehicle do nothing useful. More then 8 out of every ten gallons only create heat, pollutants, and noise. Because gasoline at $10 per gallon is so ridiculously cheap.
