Either way, this could very well turn out to be a viable solution until hydrogen cells are economically feasable.

Well, if burning turkeys and horsehockie as alternative fuel ever catches on, Washington DC will become the new Saudi Arabia.

One tank two tanks... what's the difference?   For me... driving has allways been about the driving more than the destination.. it is about the road.  

I like to look at America across the guages and SS hood of a 69 el camino say.... I like to feel and hear the big block under my right foot.   I like going through the gears getting on the freeway... I even like getting it sideways in second gear getting on the freeway from a rest stop in the middle of nowhere...

I don't really expect you brits to understand any of that stuff... well not the average tame brit anyway... have met a few that do over the years...  

Getting there in a boring car takes away from the trip anywhere from 50-100% for me... bragging about the milage I got or the $100 I saved on a 2000  mile trip just doesn't get it for me... sorry.

Lazs - enjoy it while you still can.

For me, I like the driving too. But when I look back, I'll think of all the places this car has taken me.

Hah - the ultimate motoring icon - a 1969 Ford. :aok

beet... I guess we will never understand each other... I have "enjoyed it" for a good many years while you have not.   I am proud to have lived in a country that made that possible.

I also know that no matter how bad things get.... they will never get as bad as your government has made em.   We won't stand for it.  

That is why I like it here... you can't understand that and I can't understand what you get out of england... it is a stalemate.

You are welcome to your taxes and socialism tho... just don't tell me that we need the same here.

uhh... I don't own a 69 Ford....  but...

If I wanted too I could buy any kind of car with about any range of milage.

we are talking a trip costing me about the same as it costs you when I drive a Hot Rod and less when I drive my Lincoln Town car..

"Fast" is not only about top speed.  Most people rarely get to the top speed of their car.... smoking the tires getting onto the freeway feels "fast"   it is a type of fun that the rigs you have owned aren't even in the same univese with.   I like to do it... it is worth a couple of dollars to me to do it.

ok... so it cost me more than 200 bucks more to drive 2000 miles on vacation....  a room at a crappy motel costs 75-150...  a meal on the road for two or three costs 50 bucks...  so I drive all night one night and pack one lunch...  not a real hardship... you spend more on one bottle of wine or a couple of meals (which I have no interest in).

Weren't gas prices shot up in the 70's around the time Vietnam was ending?  

And U.S. tax dollars are going to help Iraqis pay 5 cents per gallon for gas!  http://www.rense.com/general53/tedx.htm

Imagine How pissed they will be when gas reaches a full 50 cents!
