really interesting piece...but they do point out that epa ratings come from driving under near ideal conditions, and the drivers are expert...
most Americans rarely drive under those conditions, and sadly, and frighteningly, most Americans are really lousy drivers...
in fact, the closest I've ever come to believing in god is the amazing fact that we kill *only* a little more than a hundred or so humans a day in driving accidents...amazing that we don't die by the thousands, every day, given how we drive, the things we drive in, and the things we do while we drive...
shudder...
