Maybe you've already posted on this, and I missed it, but does this mean you support the exemption of so-called light trucks from CAFE? Because people who drive Hummers are only hurting themselves, and to make them more fuel efficient would provide the incentive to drive them longer distances?
Granted, I read the Chron so I'm at a disadvantage, but the CV out here is that CAFE has been a disaster because fuel economies have increased, but the percentage of drivers choosing those cars is offset by the growth (both in sales and in size) of CAFE-exempted cars.
If Ty's actually on your side on this, and isn't simply pulling my chain, I'll concede. I remember the Alamo.
