Does anybody else feel that stuck-in-the-mud-ness increases for every technological generation? Seems the more thing advance, the more people say "right, THIS is how it should be" and never want to move on. Diesel cars are a good example. FFS, the automobile is less than a century old for the normal person. And yet, people have these ridiculous ideas about what is the "normal" fuel to put in them. And are thus resistant to superior technology.

Also, it is MPG, not MGP.



Or L/100km if you want to use a better format. (see http://nudges.wordpress.com/why-we-misunderstand-what-miles-... )

Agreed about the stuck-in-the-mud --- I think we all do it to some extent - but it can get very frustrating.
