I've been thinking a Japanese market Leaf could deliver the mail just fine.

I agree. I don’t think there’s an easier, better way to curb emissions in the US at this time.

That’s a good comment. I do know that it was very difficult to keep it out of boost. Every time I set the cruise control, it pretty much stayed in boost. There was no point during stop and go driving that I accelerated without spooling the turbo. I've driven a 1.5T Malibu and didn't have that issue at all. 

I think a fuel tax would help. Raise it over the course of a few years and give people time to change their buying habits. Also, to capture electric vehicle use, a system could be implemented that used telemetry gathered from the electric cars to bill the owner for road use monthly. 

This would be a nice weekend car...

This was exactly the cup holder I had in a 74 GMC truck I had years ago.

I never trust OBC mileage estimates. I always math it out over a tank full or 3.

I’ve driven a 1.5T Malibu. I got good fuel economy, but didn’t really put enough miles on it to make a call (approximately 200 miles).

Do you mean that $240 is insurance company, hospital and doctor billing departments, drug advertising, etc? I’d rather have my healthcare dollars spent on actual healthcare. Call me crazy!

I had a rental Equinox last year and the fuel economy was abysmal. I didn't drive it hard, just moderate driving and during the 1000 or so miles I had it I averaged below 20 MPG. 

Came for Ackbar, not disappointed.

$30K worth of tires, brakes, and fuel. Throw in some driver's lessons for good measure. 

My commute is in there somewhere. Mostly mine is orange and yellow, though.

Had my healthcare not been tied to my employer, I might have moved to a different company or location. My current healthcare is great and covers my pre-existing conditions. 

I'm sure if we looked harder...

And a tip of the hat to you, as well.

My comment was quite tongue in cheek as well.

Can I drive there with no papers?

Aren't America's farmers accepting government compensation for lost profits due to the trade war? That sounds like socialism. Now automakers would never take a handout from a socialist government, would they?

I’ve used a dual battery system before and it only linked them during engine run when the alternator was supplying charge current. Although not totally infallible, it was pretty idiot proof. I'd trust a single battery with a low voltage cutoff after testing it beforehand.
