The reason for the high cost of gasoline is the failure of our government to act in a responsible manner. The "Energy-Independence and Security-Act of 2007” requires a 35-mpg standard by 2020. Evidently none of the people who created and signed this act did any research on available technology. To require 35-mpg is ridiculous when Shell Oil, with modified automobiles; achieved 49.73-mpg around 1939; 149.95-mpg with a 1947 Studebaker in 1949; 244.35-mpg with a 1959 Fiat 600 in 1968; 376.59-mpg with a 1959 Opel in 1973. If you lived in Europe, 1983, you could purchase a 72-mpg diesel or 65.7-mpg gas fueled Peugeot. Toyota is complains they can’t meet the mpg standard. Some Toyota people didn’t get the memo about the 104-mpg diesel sold in Europe during 2002
