Normally aspirated means it’s not turbo-charged.

Family Zero is some new marketing term from GM.

#101 Guido Says: “1) Effective immediately, the US slaps a $1/gallon “deficit reduction tax” on every gallon of gas or diesel sold.”

Two problems with that:

1) If oil prices go way up again, you’ll have to revisit this.

2) Less that half of our oil consumption is gasoline.

A better way would be to set a minimum oil price of $65 a barrel. If the price goes above that, import tarrifs would be raised just enough to keep it at $65 / barrel.
