DeLorean (brief mention) in Business Week, April 16, 2012

I do not recall seeing it posted last month, so I thought I would post this link. Some truth, but not 100% accurate.

Cool but wtf?! Why use a Delorean?! Am I missing the relevance?

19 mpg? Seriously?

19 mpg? Seriously?

That's a huge pile of horseshit. My DMC's PRV is bone stock and I average between 25 and 28.

not sure why a Jeep getting 12 MPG city is considered 'news.' my 2000 Jeep gets 12 MPG city on a good day... and im pretty sure shitty-gas-mileage Jeeps have been around for decades.

I dream about getting 19mpg (or mpgs as the trend now seems to be)

Does seem like a little esoteric of a reference... but hey, exposure is exposure.

Also, 19 is an insulting figure to use there! I burned a huge amount of my last tank idling the car in the garage fiddling with the A/C setup and still got 16. Normally it's 22 and I barely ever touch a highway.
