I saw an ad during the Olympics last night that showed aerial views of highways with thought bubbles popping out from various cars reading things like “I need an MPG upgrade” and “I’d like to fill up less often.”

Then I was told about the great deals I could get on the Silverado, Avalanche and Tahoe. 20 MPG highway!

Are US consumers really that dumb?

I schecond (hic) that moshun!

I wonder if they could steal some thunder from another ad:

Kids! What car company makes cars that run on DELICIOUS CORN?

(Loud crash as a giant glass pitcher emblazoned with “E85″ wades through a faux-brick wall).

“TOOL AID”! cry the children.

That’s simple; higher atmospheric CO2 concentrations help plants grow.

demonstrating the difference between petroleum and ethanol in a fun-filled way

That’s simple, too. I’ll let my vehicle drink the petroleum, while I drink the ethanol….

Don’t be so primitive. We’re much more advanced than that. Now we cut down the rainforest to make cellulosic ethanol.

I wrote that post before you edited in the YouTube link. I thought that you were being serious.

I don’t think Pontiac has ANY E85 vehicles in the ‘09 model mix, do they????

Not that it matters, anyways, since E85 is awful for the environment, and actually uses more energy to produce than it provides in fuel. But you go, GM!

Like Congress?

Which idiot are YOU voting for?!?!

LOL

I thought pretty much *all* of GM’s vehicles were great friends with fuel?

That was probably the only way GM would be admitted entry to the Kalifornia state fair.

Exactly, as it does fit in with the rest of left coast.

I for one would like to go to the puzzle putting together activity. It would be hilarious to sit there for three hours and watch Rick Wagoner try to shove the square peg through the round hole.

Well yes. Maybe the kiddies could see a demo by the GM execs. I suggest putting Rick on stage so the little tots could see him juggling large pieces of bullshit as he does every time he shows his face. Or is it slinging that he does? I suggest he not demo his skills at piecing together puzzles since he hasn’t been on top of his game since he’s; oh say been employed at GM.
