if you can’t build a fuel efficient car, just bribe your customers

this is getting ridiculous. GM is offering to cap the price of gas for new SUV customers (hummers, etc.) at $1.99 a gallon in CA and FL.

hmmm…why doesn’t GM focus on making cars/trucks that people want…or at least direct marketing $$ toward e85??

SUV rentals cheaper than compacts - is this an “onion” headline? :)

pretty funny story in the WSJ (via Yahoo!)…sub-compacts are the new “must have”

ahh, what could have been. if we had only implemented a gas tax years ago…

ps - you can rent a toyota prius at hertz…
