1989 Geo Metro Gets 75 mpg

CCC: It's amazing how stupid a-dults are. They pay $15 to $25k to purchase a small car that gets 30mpg. There were cars getting 45mpg in the 1970s. I've bought a 1971 Datsun 510 for $150 in early 1990 that got 35mpg. Today, if you hunt for them, you can buy an old Honda and rebuild the engine and have $12,000 left over for gas (which, at $4 gallon, would take you 105,000 miles). Most adults today are STUPID.

World's cheapest car goes on show
Tata Motors has unveiled the world's cheapest motor car at India's biggest car show in the capital, Delhi. The vehicle, called the Tata Nano, will sell for 100,000 rupees or $2,500 (£1,277) and enable those in developing countries to move to four wheels. The four-door five-seater car, which goes on sale later this year, has a 33bhp, 624cc, engine at the rear. It has no air conditioning, no electric windows and no power steering, but two deluxe models will be on offer.
