I'll give you ANWR and 50 miles... you give me a serious fleet efficiency initiative. Someone here had the better idea, which is to make drilling in these regions contingent on a commitment from the drillers wrt alternatives. Cramming efficiency standards down the throats of consumers is just waiving our fundamental rights to make choices, and is ultimately counterproductive in that it just "kicks the can down the road". We need to take advantage of this opportunity (higher gas prices) to allow consumers to choose alternatives, rather than to defer the inevitable. If someone WANTS to have a 10mpg SUV, and Detroit wants to continue building them, then so be it. People, given a choice, will do what is in their own interests without government intervention.
