...current rates, the electric-fuel usage for e-cars is estimated to be 50% cheaper than gasoline, or about 4 cents a mile. This comes with the added benefit of low maintenance costs for EVs and, of course, zero emissions. In the U.S., 40% of greenhouse-gas emissions come from transportation. And never underestimate the force of status. Along with a $7,500 federal tax credit, being the first on the block with a road-worthy EV is expected to be the market's primary driver in the years ahead...
...replacements for older GM models that have failed to dislodge the competition in growing market segments. The SRX, for example, is aimed at a segment virtually invented by Lexus with vehicles such as the highly popular RX330.

GM has also indicated that it is pricing the vehicle aggressively - that is, slightly under the competition - in an effort to win over more buyers. (See the 50 worst cars...
...Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain are aimed at the broad midmarket where motorists move among sedans, minivans and SUVs.

The cargo plane's 55,000 gallons of jet fuel erupted into a massive fireball, killing 18 of McChrystal's troops as they prepared for parachute jumps on a sunny North Carolina afternoon.

...victims: Perhaps unsurprisingly, the nation's most congested area is greater Los Angeles, where travelers spend an average of 70 hours per year in traffic, wasting 53 gal. of fuel. Next up is greater Washington, at 62 hours; Atlanta rounds out the top three, at 57 hours. Of the areas studied, Wichita, Kans., and Lancaster, Calif., had the shortest delays, about six hours per year...
