In an article in
Newsweek, the hosts of NPR's "
Car Talk"
talk about the car of the future.
Turns out that the Tappet Brothers, one of whom doesn't even own a car (!), are lobbying Congress for increased automobile fuel efficiency. They're also starring in
a new episode of the
PBS series
Nova. And they have some advice for you, the consumer: "
Get a Prius."
FYI, since we're talking about it -- a quick update on my "Pious" seems in order. Its current fuel efficiency (running average since I bought the car in December) is:
49.6 m.p.g.
And, in the interest of fairness to other ecofreaks, here's a bumper sticker on a car in Adams-Morgan this morning: "Biofuel - No war required."
