Four dollars a gallon.

Robert, This is the part of the Audi report that I was referencing. It seems that the A series is covered by the mileage and emissions standards as I read it.

Diesel engines are coming. At the moment only the Mercedes BlueTec has been certified to meet California's standard; however, all the auto manufacturers are working on this. Honda is very close to having something ready by next year as well.

Make sure you hold onto your pocketbook, because all of these won't be cheap.

americans can expect to pay $5/gal by xmas 2008.
(that's my prediction)

You are quite the sexual intellectual - what's the price of gasoline today? Not even close to $5 per gallon.

When the CA legislature gets through with the taxes, it will be back up there. There's some scheme afoot to "get rid of" the present excise tax and do some other "sales Tax" so as to tripe the tax or so- not that I understand the thing - but obfuscation is the point anyway
