[Spits] Gas Prices

[Nolan]

Try getting in a crash in one of those little China made fuel efficient 
cars, then tell me what you think.

A *big* part of the reason cars in America don't get as good a gas mileage 
is because they are far bigger, safer, and resultingly heavier.  And then 
there's the performance factor...
