I read the above-mentioned article in the April 14 edition, and have to say that I am incensed by it!

I have vehicles which get very good fuel-mileage (my motorcycle gets as much as 73 mpgÏã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥”24 km/l or 4.2l/100 kmÏã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥”while our car gets as much as 40 mpgÏã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥”14 km/L or 7 L/100 kmsÏã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥”but I do not see anyone lining up city revenues to supply me with gasoline.

How can this story not generate any public opposition?
