Matter doesn't matter. I would much rather have my matter get 40+ mpg than 10 mpg. Whatever else matters does't matter to me.
It comes down to a question of matter ... and what matter matters to the individual involved. As for physics: the cars now being sold are already made, and the clunkers will eventually be crushed. It is a question of how much fuel will be consumed next year by the cars on the road. If I drive my 10 mpg pickup for another five years, all I do is burn unnecessary fuel. The car I'd buy tomorrow still exists (it has already been produced), and my pickup will eventually be crushed for scrap. It is just a question of whether it is crushed in 2009 or 2019, or (this being Iowa) perhaps in 2029 -- or even 2039.
