I promise after this paragraph I will get on topic,this dose have to do with the topic in a way.The link to the vid was removed but I heard the broadcast.Last week in the Senate this is what Sen. Dianne Finestien of CA. said (as best as I can remember) "Mr President we are elected to the Senate for a six year term because we have to make tuff decisions in the best interest of the nation. Mr. President my office recieved 91-K phone calls and e-mails,85-K citizens of CA. are aganist the bailout,these citizens do not understand, are misguided, or uinformed about how serious this is.There for Mr President I agree to the proposal." I think she just insulted 85-K people,
Hey wait a minute I want there phone numbers,I have 85-K beach front lots to sell in Hadly NV.
OK to the topic,Something the rest of the idiots in DC really don't see.
Way back in the early 70s I took auto mechanics in high school. It was a trade and tech school. I went through a 3 year program. One of the related course's was Related Science and Theory.Don't ask for all the terms it was 30 years ago. however it gose like this. It takes a certian amount of energy to move an object a certian distance in a certian amount at a given speed.
Back then DCs idea of economy was to put the infamous Vega 4 banger in a Fleetwood Caddy
Here is my report on progress.
#1) 1970 F-100 with a 300 cu in six cyl. with a three speed on the colum.
11 MPG 29 years later 99 F-150 super cab long bed,4.6 L with a 5 speed
23 MPG
#2) 1970 C-20 (this was my baby) fully loaded custom camper BB 396 cu in auto 8 MPG but boy I could smoke them tires
2000 C-20 5.7 L (small block 350) auto
17.5 MPG
All of the above I owned one time or another, I do not believe the people in DC have really looked at this on ground level. Unless we all start driving smart cars
or we use lighter alloy's or composites it still takes energy to move an object. I think we have refined the internal combustion to run as efficiently as we can get with the technology we have. OK thats my two bits
