Not to worry!!! We will have 35 mpg cars on the road in 13 years. In the
meantime, China and India will improve their infrastructure, meaning more
cars on the road and more fuel needed. Gas will be $10 per gallon. In 2020,
some politician will suggest improving the interstate rail system, like the
railroads in Europe and Japan, and will be hailed as a genius. Then it will
be another 20 years minimum before investment in rail has any effect.

My wife and I were in Africa a few weeks ago and saw many
Japanese vehicles there along with European stuff, but I was floored
to learn of a couple of makes I'd never heard of befo Great Wall
Motors (China), and Mahindra (India). Good-looking stuff but
apparently it's still rather cheap. But they'll fix that and we North
Amicans will be in even deeper trouble.

I bet others will show up. Doesn't look good for the big NA
automakers. Too smug for too long.
