You want to stop buying gas from nations that support terrorism? Guess how we are going to accomplish that...and it isn't just popping a whole lot more holes in the ground.

Really, you must have been pushing it half the time. My '74 Impala with nothing and a lo-po 350 got 16mpg at best on the highway...
Your also not considering the more than double amount of vehicles on the road today. Let alone the increase in annual miles driven per car because of ever increasing sprawl. The option of another (domestic) source of
oil than the terrorists is a lot more realistic than thinking we'll double mileage anytime soon.
I'd rather have the money I spend on gas going to an
oil worker here in the US than some damn towelhead.
