I am old enough to remember the OPEC oil crisis of the 1970s when Cadillacs and Oldsmobiles getting 10-12 mpg were surprisingly, shockingly, suddenly unpopular when you could get a Toyota or a Honda that gave you 30+ mpg. In 1975, a new Cadillac El Dorado would cost >$10,000. A basic Corolla would run around $2,700. No amount of "Buy American" could hold back the tide. Detroit keeps rug pulling themselves, decade after decade. But "roll coal," amirite?
