BIG BUSINESS does-not want IMPROVED EMMISIONS they would LOOSE millions if not billions. I have a 91 chevy S10 it gets 20mpg hi-way. I havent see any IMPROVEMENT in MPGS' in 17 years they have everyone by the SHORT HAIRS, an will be TWISTING even more.
the GAS companyes will be DICTATING to you , as soon as they get the INDIPENDENTS out of the way. so they can have ALL the CONTROL . WE could put a end to this ? if we ALL got together an NOT BOUGTH GAS on said days.that would hit them where it hurts. but that will never happen, so we must tredge on. looks like $5.00 by JUNE, kiddies. save your pennies for GAS.
GOOD LUCK GOOD FISHIN

Instead of driving back/forth to the shop this year, I "thought" I could ride the bike - 10 miles each way, some hills.
Yesterday I took the bike to the boat - 4 miles - thought I would die, a far cry from running marathons a few years back!
But, with a few weeks working my way up in distance, it's easily possible, so at least the gas emissions are reduced.
But 80%, that will take some massive intervention such as mass transit, different heating systems, and so on.

Geepers, Rich, it's been many, MANY moons since I've made that bike trip. I was young, buf and ripped, ( don't snicker, I was a force in my day, Now I'm the over 50 poster boy) and I raced the paths with my brothers. It nearly killed us then. (Altho my son ,Noah, Woulda blown us away), We need reliaable public transport, like the Shuttle from Truro to P-town for a Buck and the Truro to Harwich for a buck(!) one they have. If the Cape can do it , so can all the others..Gotta admire your stamina, tho..

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
