That depends on your definitions of "Efficiency"

This is such a stupid program on many levels... but what angers me the most is that viable automobiles are being trashed into landfills simply because some bureaucrats think they're not "efficient."

Well, I've got news for them: it's far less efficient to take automobiles than run just fine (but maybe use more gas than we'd like) and throw them away. Into what trash heap do they go, with all their waste oil, tires, rubber, plastic and other environment-polluting parts that make them what they are? Longer functional life of an auto, or any machinery, is the most efficient way to use it.

Duh.
