    User pays: You get 90 times the fuel efficiency of an M1 Abrams tank in your Corvette?  Sheesh, I hate to think of the figures for my Mazda 121 ...

    I wonder whether a hybrid drivetrain is still viable with that gas turbine engine.  The theory is you can get better torque at the low end, while keeping the potential for acceleration at the high end.  <waves hands>

    If gasoline prices included a US military tax (user pays system) then pump prices would be $6.75 USD a gallon.

    Is that assuming the entire US military exists to extract oil from overseas?  Shouldn\'t some of it go on a microchip tax to pay for the carrier group near Taiwan, etc?
