Besides a couple of weeks ago when I checked in on the clunker program at my local dealer ...I found out that My car didn't qualify , my mileage was to high and the reason was it was only running on three cylinders but they felt so bad for me they took up a collection and told me never to come back.......
they called me a cab .........fumar
It sounds good on paper....trade car with lousy mileage for one that gets good mileage....but figures show that people just put more miles on the more efficient car, therefore they use the same amount of gas.
