I’d love to have a Tesla, but Im guessing i don’t have the star power to get on that waiting list! Its nice to see sports cars jumping on the green bandwagon…Regular gas powered cars can do their part to stretch their mpg by by getting frequent oil changes and changing air filters….K&Ns have been ok for my truck…(K&N filters)
