Jeb, honestly you should not have to worry about the milage of a vehicle we all consider a weekend "toy". I could care less what mileage my cobra gets. But right now it is about 15 which is in line with my Surburban and LS400. Notice the common theme? All are V8 powered. If I was worred about MPG I would drive one of those compact piece of S*** that clutter the road. While I am all in favor of buying less oil from the Millde east why did the Senate vote NO on drilling in the Alaska wild life refuge? We have alot of untapped resources here in the US.

I think the senate voted no because the new plan is to tap the
oil reserves that we haven't been able to recover with drill and pipe. They're planning on open-pit mining the
oil fields and have decided to start the project in Texas where multiple benefits are seen accruing. First of course, Oil, and lots of it. Second, the overfill is to be piled along the border...border control at last. Third, climate control, an inland sea will be allowed to form though the landfill people just want to fill it otherwise as do the nuclear-energy people with their waste.
As for your Cobra...isn't a Cobra a compact POS? And you're proud that your infrequently used toy gets as good as mileage as your everyday vehicles. Perhaps there's a Fourth unacknowledged benefit to turning Texas into one large hole? And be honest now, isn't Alaska's Brooks Range more beautiful and vibrant and alive than most of Texas?
