I get roughly 12 mpg in my oversized suv and I love every minute of it, the government does not pay for my gas. Law/Civil right etc. is definitely not my area of expertise, however what happened to our rights as citizens of the US? Go ahead and tell me i’m wrong here, I very well could be. I just feel I should have the right if I choose so to ride comfortably as i’m 6’4’’ roughly 210 lbs in a fairly large suv. So obviously if i’m in something of this size, it needs to have proper power/weight ratio correct? If it doesn’t wouldn’t it technically be considered unsafe when added merging onto any major highway along with vehicles with a much higher accel rate? wow this fucking annoys me… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/epa-to-automakers-horsepower-war-is-over/42753)._
