<<Are you saying you disagree with Bush's opposition to higher fuel efficiency standards?>>

I think the standards have been pushed about as hard as the technology now can make them. Remember the first CAFE standards way back? People bought foreign cars and dumped the American cars. Right now there are 2 ways to get more mpg.

1. Make them lighter, more plastic.

2. Convince the soccer moms to buy cars instead of SUVs.

Which is going to happen? Neither. Safety.

Why worry about burning less gas when we have Ethanol. Burns clean and uses up our excess corn production.
