The outlawing of engines over a certain displacement isn't that good of an idea.

First. Do we really need the government outlawing things of this nature? Would these same people be ok with outlawing homes over a certain square footage or determining the number of children a family can have? I'd rather my government support the search for alternative energy sources that we should have been working on in the 70s instead of giving the government more power to abuse.

And the displacement of the engine has less to do with the amount of fuel it uses than you would think. Take a guess which gets better mileage. A 2008 Vette with a 6.2 liter, 400 and some hp V8 or my 1.3 liter 200ish hp RX8.
