If for every $100 you make you spend every single bit of the net post-tax amount on fuel, you are doing something pretty bad wrong...

So, even more of your $100 budgeted for fuel is really tax dollars.

So do you think the massive corporations that pay zero in taxes, or get subsidies from the government, that they really pass the savings on to you the consumer? Or rather do they pad CEO wealth with it, offshore it, or do stock buybacks with it...
Speaking specifically about fuel taxes, we have some choice regarding how far we commute and how fuel-efficiently we do it, so whether the tax is at the pump or on corporate profits, we have some control on how much we pay. So again I'll say that someone who spends every last dime of his post-tax income on fuel is doing something BAD wrong.... |

Interesting article although the football analogy was very awkward. I could have done without that completely and would have liked to see some lap time comparisons instead. The Supra certainly seems to be a performance bargain if you can get one for near MSRP. Now the question is: Will the Supra have much improved reliability and repair cost over the other two German cars? If it does then it should have a successful production run.

Regardless to think corporations pay the tax bill is naïve, whether it ends up at the government or in some fat cat's pocket, it all comes from the customer and is figured into the cost of doing business. Corporations figure the profit margin they need to run at, and then calculate the cost of the product to get there. We can agree to disagree..

The steering is super quick and has absolutely zero dead spots, so every movement you make on the wheel directly translates into precision and accuracy on the road. "This car requires quiet hands and a deft touch," road test editor Chris Walton said, "and this makes it fun to drive." That quick steering will bite you if you aren't smooth and precise. When it does bite, though, the car becomes a Formula Drift champion. The car's balance and predictability while oversteering are entirely responsible for the longest drift I've ever completed on our figure-eight track. This could be fun... |

Just as I knew all along, the reviews would roll in, comparisons would be won and negative comments would turn into positives. How nearsighted people are. Looks phenomenal in that pic btw. Cayman looks like a turd next to it
