" The main reason for this program is to get gas guzzlers off the road and
" drive vehicles that get better mileage. Yes, better mileage is good for
" us and the atmosphere, bad for the oil merchants. but if every one drives
" high mileage vehicles, then less gasoline will be sold. And what does
" that mean? It means the federal and state taxes on gasoline will go up so
" the government will have more money. So, your vehicle makes better
" mileage but when the taxes go up, what will you be saving. Not your
" pocketbook!

...and it's kind of a pyrrhic victory if the factories use that
'saved' oil in making those 'better mileage' cars...
