Boy I know I'm about to a can of worms with this comment. Their is no reason for any vehicle on the road to not get a minimum of 30MPG and not have a speed governor of 120KM/H. Period. Anything bigger than a 1/4 ton should be diesel only, until the govenment gets a set and implements this then they have no credibility on the "save the environment from motor vehicle" front. It is my firm belief that the Hybrid is not answer to this problem. Afterall how many Class 8 trucks do you see that can go 140KM/H or are gasoline powered?

There is a good reason.   Ferrari would go out of business and then there would be no more F1.
Now if you limit your comment to TRUCKS not VEHICLES then that's a different matter... sure I'll go for that

Trucks are already speed governed, by law, in most juristrictions. Back in July I went to Ontario for a wedding, by keeping my ION at/near the speed limit I found the car got an extra 10 IMPG over the same run last year(Riverview to Les Cedres,PQ), worked out to $50 more beer money on vacation. The highest speed limit in Canada is 120 KP/H and speed kills people and fuel economy, their is no logical reason to not speed limit vehicles to 120.
