Sams Take on article: President Bush Signs H.R. 6, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007

What Happens when you increase fuel economy standards? . ... Cars simply get made better. ... Technically has nothing todo with Gas price. ... Because well, if you are in a vehicle powered by that old stinky stuff. ... and you can go further with the same amount. Does that mean the gas price goes down???



Here's the statement that the Man said. .. .I mean the speach writers club wrote.

As it's clear (at least to me) that the answer is right there in our face. ... Every time your stick the key in the ignition. ... .... You purchaised the car because you weighed the price. ... As the end consumer, the natural selection is what ever is most heavely advertised and talked about. ...
Fortunatly this move, makes the Big guys in the back room need to start focusing more on green cars. ... And advertising that aspect as the Benifit.


1 Gallon of Gas, 100 Miles — $10 Million: The Race to Build the Supergreen Car

And here's a great article about what happens when you make a competition to design a more green car.
(1st off Please read the whole article, and then read the comments.) It's funny how the close minded comment, totally loosing sight of the purpose of the compeition.

So ... what happens when you have an increase in Fuel economy standards? ... It wont matter what the price of fuel is. ... as the price of fuel should NOT be the factor in calculating the cost. ...

When buying a Car, you need todo simple math. .. If you compare the fuel economy from 2 different veichles. .. You can see that your actually paying less at the gas pump than the driver at the other pump.

Does this make sence??
