• States weigh pros, cons of 'smart' utility meters

  Sun Nov 13, 2011

• What's your favorite American muscle car?

  Tue Jan 4, 2011
  • These cars are head and shoulders above their 1960s-70s predecessors. I get 23 real MPG with my Challenger R/T in mixed driving without even trying. People who are serious about it get mid-upper 20s. That's not bad at all.
