Zero works great for cola beverages and down payments; why not for a gasoline fuel standard

With the new 54.5 MPG CAFE announcement today we thought that we should dust off The Auto Channel's proposal to reduce gasoline use in our country from billions of gallons a month to ZERO, and save our nation.

AUTO CENTRAL – October 1, 2010: The Auto Channel, the Internet’s most complete and comprehensive automotive information resource, has announced today its recommendations for a new national gasoline fuel economy standard.

“Frankly,” said Bob Gordon, TACH’s president and co-publisher, "35 MPG for gasoline, 60 MPG for gasoline, even 100 MPG for gasoline is just not good enough; particularly when you factor in the real costs of using gasoline, which include our physical health, our environment’s health, and the lives of our servicemen who are dying everyday to protect the oil interests of our country’s external and internal enemies.”

Gordon continued, “Marc Rauch and I have considered this issue for quite some time and we’re now ready to announce our decision on this subject. We believe that the new national fuel economy standard for gasoline – and it’s a standard that we hope many other democratic nations will also adopt – is 0 (zero) miles per gallon.”

Marc Rauch, TACH’s executive vice president and co-publisher, adds, “Achieving 0 MPG for gasoline is really not as difficult as it may initially appear; it requires no secret formulas or voodoo science. All we have to do is stop using gasoline to fuel our vehicles. We don’t need gasoline; our vehicles don’t need it; and the physical and financial well-being of every man, woman and child can do without it.”

According to Gordon and Rauch, America can make all the ethanol it needs to fuel our cars and trucks, and it has CNG and propane as additional secondary resources. Of course, EPA restrictions on converting existing gasoline vehicles to CNG or propane use will have to be eliminated, but that wouldn't be a problem once bribes and political contributions from oil interests are cut off.

“As soon as we stop making anti-CNG policies so profitable for politicians and their appointees we can get on with giving consumers true choices on how they would like to fuel their vehicles,” Rauch said.

The Auto Channel predicts that in 40 or 50 years when electric vehicles might actually be ready for wide distribution that that alternative will also play an important role in keeping us safe from gasoline.

“Yes, there are many pernicious lies and misconceptions about ethanol that have to be laid to rest,” admits Gordon, “But the truth about ethanol and its benefits are really so simple to understand that people just have to be exposed to it without all the mumbo-jumbo that spews from the gasoline lobbyists’ mouths.”
