This first paragraph is something I copied from popular science. It is the reason we here in America, don’t have the mileage that Europe does. It is from an article about 100 mile to the gallon vehicles.
Recently, they've come close--in Europe. The Volkswagen Lupo 3L turbodiesel and the Audi A2, which use the same engine, have both edged close to 80 mpg. That's better than a hybrid. On the downside, that amazing three-cylinder diesel doesn't meet U.S. emission standards.
The emissions standard law, invoked by Clinton, keep great mileage Diesel powered vehicles, off our roads. No, our emission standard don’t save our environment, they save the fuel tax and high oil sales. High mileage vehicles put out different emissions than waste full vehicles. For Clinton to save the fuel tax and oil sales, he changed the standards, outlawing the emissions of high mileage vehicles! Our biggest problem with our exhaust is CO2. These high mileage diesel engines, put out less CO2, than any gas engine allowed in America!

Sweet words are easy to say, Sweet things are easy 2 buy, But sweet people are difficult to find Life ends when U stop dreaming, Hope ends when U stop believing, Love ends when U stop caring, Friendship ends when U stop sharing. So share this with whom ever U consider a friend. To love without condition, To talk without intention, To give without reason, And to care without expectation is the heart of a true friend... Forward this to all the people whom U consider as your true friend. Dont forget to send it back to ME ..... If U Care........ Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile. Send to all the people you love or don't want to lose in 2009, even me.... If you get 3 back, you are a great friend
