10/03/2003 Entry: "The humboys lobby their congress."

"General Motors is lobbying Congress to restructure a proposed tax credit for consumers who buy fuel-efficient hybrid cars to include pickup trucks that get less than 20 miles per gallon."

What a joke. They want a $4000 tax credit for a piddly extra 3 mpg. I can get an extra 3 mpg on the commute home any day by listening to the classical music on the ride home instead some lively klez. I suspect anyone in any car could get an extra 3 mpg by simply changing their driving habits.

I say no pickups or SUVs in Club Hybrid until their getting over 75 mpg.
