it wasn't gonna be enough...for companies to average 54.5 MPG by 2020, hybrid & EV sales would've had to of been at least 20-30% of all vehicles sales, and V8 cars would've been scrapped or downsized with smaller less powerful engines. once gas got dumb cheap there was absolutely no way anyone was gonna buy expensive fuel sipping hybrids when more affordable bigger power cars & trucks are right there to be had. Customers voted with their wallets. u can't make people buy things they don't want.

Obama Administration rushed da midterm view of 2017 1 year early to spite da process...

When gas prices was approaching $5 dollars people were dumping V8's like they were going out of style.

Prices dropped because of the recession. Demand for oil fell off cliff.

 

[ksteezy]

Ima go ahead and blame Toretto.

Smh..

da real reason it fell was Fracking...demand only slightly moved da needle over a bigger deflation trend in da economy.

Saudi Arabia didn't flood the market. We started producing more here and SA didn't reduce their output . In addition, the demand for petroleum produce went down with the increased adoption of alternative fuels and other sources of energy and the increased adoption of energy saving technologies.

it's remarkable how tom brady is choking on trump's ****, given how tiny it is.

the entire gas/oil/efficiency thing is a joke. I was working for chevy/nissan in 08. in 2008 we had a briefing about the Nissan leaf , chevy volt, and other vehicles that would employing new tech for high gas mileage. 2008.  The car was ready to drop already, we had one being delivered to the show room. Then it all got canceled and disappeared. Like it never even happened. The Leaf never came out till 2010. Volt didn't drop til 2011. Theyd been ready for YEARS. In the meetings we were talking about how hybrids don't even have a break even even point until multiple years after purchase. whole **** was a con from the beginning.

I was thinking how some of these small towns could compete with remote, outsourced IT jobs if they had the education and resources due their low COL.

 

[Mark Antony]

Meth summed up some of "independent thought" personalities her perfectly:

Incidentally, I find it rather amazing that someone who will seemingly believe any fringe conspiracy nonsense can be so dismissive about racism and sexism. You think 9/11 was an inside job and Zionist, socialist shape-shifting reptilian reverse vampires control the media, but the consensus view of social science, the direct lived experience of the MAJORITY of Americans, and voluminously documented historical fact are somehow insufficient to "prove" the persistence of institutional racism or sexism in your mind. Stunning.
