Not rude - just bored by the same old mileage crap dressed in a different suit.

It's a compromise you either accept or you don't. I really don't see how talking about it changes anything.

Well said- I never saw so much carping about the fuel mileage of a car with 15 second quarter mile times. If you REALLY want mileage, you'll have to sacrifice a good deal of performance- and trading in your car costs a heck of a lot more, even if the new ride gets 50 MPG. Simple as that. Prices will eventually come down anyway.

Everybody is freaking out- 30 years of lousy policy and chickensh*t politicians brought this on.

buy a used kawaski ninja or something if you want mileage. Keep your 8.
