one mirror better mileage??

Remember back in the day when cars use to come without a passenger
side mirror you had to save a few mpg over the life of the car since
it was that much less drag!! If you didn't happen to crash into someone
when changing lanes.

That's like deleting the "cigar lighter" for anti-smoking reasons. That inexpensive, useful power point becomes an option and a profit center.

Why are trucks getting bigger these days?
I remember the tiny car movement in the 70s, now what?

If gas stays as high as it is now, those days will be back...
