Democratic presidential hopefuls are targeting Bush’s lack of “fuel economy” using an increased CAFE ( Corporate Average Fuel Economy ) as the stick.
It looks like the “fuel economy” may become the primary focus of the next US election. The Big3 of course chafe under the restriction, often using their “job cuts” threat and the UAW’s inherent blended interest as means of leverage.
For a nation that lives off car sales and imports 50%+ of its fuel, it seems foolish to continue hurdling into the “consumption abyss”, but they do.
Someone should clue the USA into “home grown” Bio-Diesel as a means to self-assurance.
