And I think you hit the nail on the head, American ingenuity is a great thing and the current V8 is an example of that. However there is a limit to that technology and currently the push is to get rid of it and the Govt. is paying for many of these "gas guzzlers" that fall into the "clunker" category and is paying you to get rid of them and take them off the road for good.. It's only a matter of time the V8 is gone...

I hear you for sure, but to me what you're saying is no different than someone saying in 1972 that there was no way in hell a V8 could get 20 MPG. Or that NASA couldn't put men on the moon. Just my opinion. I don't know enough about CAFE or automotive technology to guess at what's gonna happen in five or ten years, so I'm not assuming anything...
