It's all very confusing and is likely to get even worse, according to Eggert, who doesn't "even bother" with GM's 230-m.p.g. claim. "We ignore such claims entirely," he says. "We look at total energy consumed so we can figure out how much greenhouse gas is being emitted into the air."

My neighborhood had a lot of old, southern-Italian food vendors and there was one shop that had a cheese counter.
