Cruel Irony, by Eric Peters, should be required reading for the Ford dealer in West Los Angeles. In the showroom they had four monster Mustangs. All “super v8’s” and super priced!!! The “Boss 302” coming in at a staggering $67,000 + tax. Yikes.
While I muse of rumbling on LA streets with Richter scale registering power, the $3.65 per gallon is making me look at a Subaru or a VW.
I realize some folks have the cash to afford “American muscle,” but can Ford, GM etc. afford building cars that just get dusty in showrooms.

Even if all the car companies produced many more attractive models of hybrids, it would only minimally impact the U.S. demand for imported oil.
