Comments on: What Happens if 100 MPG Cars go Mainstream? http://www.financialramblings.com/archives/what-happens-if-100-mpg-cars-go-mainstream/ Thu, 08 Jan 2009 11:36:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: budget123 http://www.financialramblings.com/archives/what-happens-if-100-mpg-cars-go-mainstream/#comment-31 budget123 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 00:46:59 +0000 http://www.financialramblings.com/?p=96#comment-31 Well.. if you are talking about the technology going into any car including larger cars, maybe we will see cars get bigger because now they can drive their buses/suv further? Maybe a balancing act will happen directly proportionate to mpg of a car and people getting larger cars. While economy is not in recession and gas prices stay the same, people will accept a certain “miles per car” figure. Now that my SUV/BUS can get 50 miles a gallon.. and I’m used to getting 20 miles per gallon..I should double my card size and now have the ability to fit 20 people in my SUV/BUS even though I’ve only twice had more than 3 people in my car at one time and I commute alone 40 miles each day.

I'm 6'2" and there's no diet for height. re: tiny cars

Yeah, I forgot to say that being tall would get (relatively) much more expensive! I’m 6′2″ and there’s no diet for height.

I am looking forward to when we have much more fuel efficient cars. They have some 100 mpg cars, but most are tiny and could basically only hold 1 person with no room for cargo.

If anything, it's better for the environment. I’d love to see 100 MPG car. If anything, it’s better for the environment.
