Subject: RE: BS: Who is responsible for gas prices?
Nice website there, Q!

I looked up my 1987 GMC Suburban (350 eng / Turbo 400 trans / 3/4 ton / 4WD) and compared it to the new 2008 Toyota Tundra. The latter also has a 350 cid engine, auto trans and 4WD. The Burb is rated at "13 mpg" the Tundra rated at "14 mpg".

I'm sure not trading in my $2200 wonder clunk for a shiny new Toyota costing $35,000 just to save 1 mpg. Looks like about 200 years of faithful service from the Toyota are needed to payback the cost.
