I know not exactly the same, but my father died a long time ago (late 1980s) and he was far from a Liberal as he distrusted big government, but he equally distrusted big business. He was an electrical engineer, and he felt like the ability to get car fuel efficiency should have been way better. He said when someone figures it out, that person will either be paid off or killed. I was baffled and questioned him, he said when that happens the amount of money lost to the oil companies would be staggering, so much so that murder becomes justifiable to people like that.
