I was talking to my brother the other day and he is in the market for a
new vehicle. He was telliong me how all the american hybrid vehicles have
the same gas mileage as their traditional counterparts but with more hp.
That's how the american companies are dealing with the fuel prices. Just
look at the new 4.7. It's a more efficient deisgn. Instead of increasing
fuel economy, they increased hp.
