The Value of Boosting Our Miles Per Gallon

We have a dwindling supply, a hugely hungry demand and a government unwilling to act. I'm talking about oil, of course, and our head-in-the-Middle-Eastern-sand attitude. Just keep driving, we think, and maybe our grandkids will figure it out. A story to illustrate: In 1989, my wife and I bought our first new car, a cherry red Volkswagen Jetta we named Lucy, in honor of our favorite comedian. Nothing earth-shattering, or earth-saving, except for this: It was a diesel and got 43 miles per gallon.
