...difficult thing is when the defense is getting tired, it's hard to pump them up," Gordian said. "In that situation, we needed to make a big play. The ball's down on the 15-yard line and they have a good field goal kicker. So, it wasn't enough just to stop them there. We had to get the ball or sack them, get them out of field goal range...
...question that Toyota management might be pondering now is whether, with prices up at the pump because of the gulf crisis and consumers about to give more thought to automobile fuel efficiency, Lexus' gas-hungry V-8 (18 m.p.g. in the city, 23 on the highway) may soon prove a sales liability.

That should temper our gratitude for their decision to pump an extra 2 million bbl. a day. It means another $22 billion or so, plus an $18 billion premium on the 5.4 million bbl. a day they were already pumping. Meanwhile, we are paying for the oil and also paying untold billions to defend their right to pump unmolested...
