| EPA Announces 1200 Yard Golf Ball
Friday, April 29 @ 13:51:41 EDT

 If the EPA tested golf balls, would they whack it off the side of a mountain or along an ice-covered lake, measure the distance, set the average at 1200 yards and then state, "Your yardage may vary"? The testing methodology would clearly be suspect. It happens every day with cars. Have you ever noticed how the EPA's fuel economy 'estimates' differ from your real-world driving mileage? In many cases, they are not even close. Most of the time we don't give a hoot, but when gasoline prices start kicking up over $2/gallon we actually sit up and take notice.

| Car Wars - Hummer vs. Hoopty

 What kind of vehicle do you drive? Why did you choose that particular vehicle? Answering those two simple questions may open a window into the inner workings of your mind. I was pondering my answers to the questions while stuck in the morning rush hour traffic around Detroit. As I sat, looking straight into the bumper of a 2003 Hummer, I knew Mad Max would have been proud of me.
My 1993 Tercel (i.e. Hoopty: beat up old car with a dull paint job and no hubcaps) braves the rush hour traffic and does an admirable job. It's kind of ugly and extremely small but it doesn't cost much at all to own.
