The US government has legislated gas mileage for DECADES....what is not to support....?
they legislate seat belts, gas tanks, airbags and a host of other safety devices in our automobiles....WHY?
because without them we'd all have more relatives and children dying.....the car companies don't give a rats ass about you or yours....only the people that have SUED these mega machines to show that they KNOW what saves lives has been put in the trash can by executives that compared their costs to killing large amounts of people....and the figures showed them it was cost effective to kill people instead of instituting SAFETY....
So as to the entire US economic scene, the legislature has knowingly allowed ( under massive Detroit money and influence) to allow what are actually cARS (since 50% of all sales are for SUV's for over a decade) to be classified as TRUCKS.....which they no longer are. They are cars....and have been allowed to POLLUTE our air and use excessive amounts of fuel far too long.
