Date: 2009-08-05 08:03 am (UTC)i used to have a 1988 Honda Accord. at one point (while i was out of state for 3 months) my mother let a neighbor use it for some weeks. and she knocked a hole in the radiator the of my fist. which i did not find out until i had had the car back for almost 6 months.
in all that time, not only did the car work *beautifully* (until the temp climbed to 120F), but it got over 40 MPG in the city, not on the highway - highway averaged almost 60MPG
yet i'm supposed to be impressed with cars that get 30MPG?
if all cars got what that Honda did, we'd be better off (or if we got a different fuel. i have heard that there are cars in Australia that do actually run off of hydrogen with water as a byproduct, that these are not any more expensive to make than the cars we have now... i blame OPEC for the crappy cars we have anymore)
