  After looking at it, it looks like the program is pretty useless except in limited circumstances. The vehicle you turn in has to have been "continuously registered and insured for a year" to be eligible. As well as be on the "list of approved vehicles" 

  That figures, I just retired one that would have qualified and registered another that is on the list but has not been "continuously registered and insured for a year" even though I have owned it for over 4 years so it does not qualify. 

  Rust is killing the one that I really want to replace but it is still getting 43 MPG and not on the list anyway.

  Re the CARS.gov program, here's a NY Times article that says a bit more about the program:

  http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/27/business/27clunkers.html?_r=1&scp=2&sq=Car%20Allowance%20Rebate%20System&st=cse

  It turns out that  the program benefits a pretty limited segment of the population.

  Re Tickell, his original book was my first exposure to biofuels years ago. Today I drive an '85 Mercedes diesel on used sopapilla/chile relleno canola oil (this being Nuevo Mexico).

  Just wanted to share this, as some folks could benefit from a trade in and sequester some carbon and save some fuel economy boost as well as re-market their image.

  Politics aside, the intent has good merit.

  About 2 weeks ago, these folks where here in Hawaii and we saw the film. I recall buying Joshua's book many years ago and he was on the bleeding edge of taking this concept mainstream.
  It is a good movie, docu-drama about our insatiable appetite for the black gold.

  If you are considering a new wrench transportation option, the timing seems to be apropos.
