I really don't think we should be worrying about cars that get 24mpg. I'd rather we focused on the < 20mpg vehicles. Get all trucks to that point first.
Anyways, back to the real topic:
There are lots of lies thrown around on the ANWR drilling. Proponents like to say that they will only destroy 2000 acres of land. It's a total lie. That 2000 acres is equipment footprints. It only counts the parts of equipment that are touching the ground. Say there is a 4'x4' tower. The tower itself covers 16 sq ft but since it is supported by 4 2"x2" legs, the footprint for that is only 16 square inches. Additionally, the 2000 acres does not count roads, piplelines or many other things. Politicians saying it will only affect 2000 acres should be hung by their nuts for making such a dirty lie.
