between CNN trying to scare the crap out of us and FOX screaming at us who we should vote for and who we should hate....and MSNBC being generally worthless...the media landscape is pretty **** bleak.
The article is information that nobody asked for. They will stop making these cars when people stop wanting/ buying them. No surprise there.

I've averaged 27mpg on a 3 hr trip out of my V8 Bullitt - when I want to - with cruise on 65. (actual calculation).
My 4 banger winter car has never hit 25. (winter conditions.)
Take that green freaks! I've got your algore (phony nobel) civil rights hangin' right here.
So tell me algore, is the environment going to get a statue on the Mall too?

Obvioulsy some people overstate envrionmental problems...but more are way too self centered and greedy to give two ****s about it...so there is a happy medium out there.
Fortunately, we live in a time where our muscle cars are not major environmental offenders. No, they're not the most responsible choice but on the scale of things, a couple of MPG here or there isn't making that much difference, especially when the Mustang isn't your primary car.

You know what kills me? The people who are griping about MPGs and alternative fuels never say word one about NASCAR, F1, etc. If you're not into racing, that would appear as a huge waste of fuel. But have you heard anyone saying "We need to get those race cars converted to all-electric!"?
I know, it's a small percentage of overall fuel consumption, and those teams and sponsors have a lot of money invested in it. I'm just saying they should leave those of us driving our V8s daily at a moderate pace alone.

OK. Enough with the childish Rush Limbaugh-isms.

Whoever wrote that "article" is clearly out of touch with motorists and enthusiasts everywhere.
I'm wondering if they even own a car.
