In other words, if the average car had a theoretical 140 hp, and the manufacturers worked on mileage and drivability only for the last 40 years, what mpg do you think they'd be at today? I appreciate power and all, but does everyone need 400hp in their commuting truck or suv? If you want it, that's cool, but really, there's a crap ton of unnecessary hp available available out there on daily driven soccer mom commuter type vehicles.</blockquote>
