I'd rather see a policy of making this kind of display mandatory than prohibitions against building gas vehicles or whatever. I'd like to see it have the status of an odometer, unalterable by law, so that someone buying a used or new car could see for themselves what mileage it gets.

I'd support that. The car we've got now has that and it is very instructive about driving styles. Though I can, at times, become a bit of a geek on drives trying to push up the long-term average as well as the instantaneous measurements...

It was more the wine, women and song, actually, that makes us think of you as Porthos...
