    The Cavalier/Sunfire was probably the best cheap car on the market. I had one for my first car. Bought it with less than 50k kilometers on it. I sold it to a family member, who sold it to another family member. Its now got around 280k kilometers on it and the only work ever done to it was a starter, battery, water pump and 4 struts. Still has the original running gear (including the clutch) and original rear brakes. Not bad for a car that could be bought off the lot new for under $15k.

    The coal fired utilities on the Susquehanna have been mothballed, one at Sunbury iirc is being retrofitted for natural gas, and I have heard of others.

    Our electricity took a sizeable increase in price, it's coal fired with Wyoming coal.

    There are some oil fired utilities using #6 oil that saw more use since the price of oil has come down. Needs heating to flow from the tank.

    City gas was mentioned, one byproduct of making coke for metal smelting. Process is called cogeneration, again iirc. I delivered a load of Donaldson air filters to a cogeneration plant in New Jersey on my first trip through PA, in 2005.
