if i push my truck i get 100 mpg too.

seriously if Google gets into this stuff I want my Google Ads displaying in the back seat of a 100mpg taxi cab!

Thats what we need is somebody big backing stuff like this up. Its just a matter of time now before the big oil companys will have a crisis and im going to laugh. muhahah
