I would tend to question why audi (with the exception of the TDIs) or BMW can't make a car that gets 30mpg cruising and still be able to romp everybody on the track.

BTW, reading about the concepts is one thing, experiencing is another. Why do you think I rarely hire college grads straight out of school? cuz they DON'T have experience. have you even taken apart and rebuild a motor or a tranny??? I highly suggest you go out and drive a Z06 vette or a Ford GT. Great cars STREET AND TRACK cars.
Car manufacturers will have reality check with the new 2008 EPA ratings method which is more close to reality and will downgrade existing mpg epa ratings.
Glad in my line I never have to hire inexperienced kids.
