Katy,

I think it may be time for you to up-grade your thinking, along with
others.

With the introduction of E85 as a fuel, rather than 100% fossil Fuel and
the advent of Flex-Fuel Vehicles; the days of private transportation may
have a long time to go.

Ford Motors, with its F 150 PU, Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Marquis,
Lincoln Town car, & Explorer SUV all have the ability to operate on
less Fossil Fuel than most other Vehicles being manufacture today.

They are also helping to develop a E85 corridor from Illinois thru
Missouri to make that fuel available to motorist with Fuel-Flex Cars.

If we can reduce our fossil fuel usage by 85% and with our own Petroleum
reserve, Our fuel independence is assured.
