Oh gee. Where did I get the idea you wanted to tax and regulate people out of their cars?

You see where Dubbya opposes the extension of mileage efficiency standards to pickup trucks and SUVs (which now account for more than 40% of the American auto fleet)? The simple change of adding 2 or 3 miles per gallon to the truck fleet (same rules cars have, adjusted for weight) would save as much oil as 10 Anwars.

Of course energy efficiency is not something Big Oil cares about...

Well so what? They are in the business of supplying fuel, not in building machines that use it. If car manufacturers supply a demand for more efficient cars, what can the oil companies do about that?
