Finally, big news: USA thinks about increasing efficiency of their fleet.

From 27.5 mpg to 35 mpg (that's something like 14 km per liter, not enough for some people, I imagine, but it's a start).

I have been reading that the new bill to increase the mileage standards in the states will not make it into law. As Bush said he would veto it and this would send the bill back to house of representatives so it can be watered down enough to get it pass through.
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.
