You know, when I first heard the statistic that the American auto fleet at the moment has worse gas mileage than the original Model T Ford, I was sceptical.

Listening to you guys talking about 7.3L diesels with 15L sumps and how many you see, I'm beginning to believe it.

What'll happen to those big vehicles when the oil price goes even higher than it is now?
