Lame.
More computers and toys.

The more computers and toys you add to a car, the more "energy" is needed to power it. You want better MPG from your car? Ditch your stereo, roll up your windows, and don't turn on your AC/heat. There are several other ways as well.

Living without lifes luxuries makes life pretty damn boring. I will buy gas from Mars if it means I can listen to Slayer on a high quality system on my way to a ball game.
