If Dubya used his influence to get a bill passed that would require auto makers to make their vehicles only 3 MPG more fuel efficient it would save us more energy than we will get from drilling in ANWAR. The question is why doesn't he do this? The answer is because the amount of campaign donations he could garner from the increase in fuel efficiency is dwarfed by the amount he gets by not doing this. He cares more about himself and his right wing buddies than he has ever cared for the public.

I may be mistaken about the following and I am not going to look it up but didn't the republicans recently rollback fuel efficiency laws so that car makers don't have to make their vehicles more fuel efficient?
