Evidently this whole 'way off topic thread got started when someone
responded to the quote I have in my signature file. Folks, that
quote did not make reference to the size or weight or gas consumption
of cars. It was a brief argument NOT to drill for oil in the Alaska
NWF, where total reserves would supply about 6 months worth of gas.

"What will you tell your grandchildren when they ask: How could you
destroy a unique wilderness area to buy six months' supply of
gasoline? Why didn't you just improve gas mileage a little each year?
Why didn't you lift just a tiny finger for conservation? Weren't you
thinking about tomorrow at all?"
