No More Excuses ...

The price of gasoline has marched past $3 a gallon. Honda, Toyota and Nissan are introducing three new small high-mileage cars, the 35-40 mpg (6.7-5.8 L/100 km) gang: the Fit, Yaris and Versa. How's that for luck? Meanwhile, General Motors is introducing the new Chevy Tahoe and Cadillac Escalade; Ford is getting a Lincoln Navigator ready for fall introduction; and Chrysler has the Aspen coming, a luxury version of the big Dodge Durango. We're talking the 15-mpg (15.6 L/100 km) gang.
