Interestingly enough, the gauges on the Misses car are screwed up. After driving for 5-10 minutes, the speedometer stops working and the odometer freezes.

Anyway, this is Uncle Scams way of combating rising fuel economy standards. There have been grumblings about the feds requiring a GPS to be installed in every vehicle that tracks mileage (yeah I'm sure that's all it tracks) and is then read by a scanner at gas stations. You pay for your fuel *plus* your mileage surcharge. It's going to happen eventually, and when it does, we'll see even more blatant, illegal intrusion into our Right to Privacy.
