Sorry, I've been complaining about the CAFE standards being low since the mid-80s and again as small truck (SUV) sales soared in the 90s to take over 20 years to make a difference is appalling. Then there is the MTBE/Ethanol stuff which is totally derailing the thread.
I just don't have much hope that it will make such an impact.
Awareness, sure they're more aware. I've done what I can. Now what?
It reminds me of scrimping and saving in my company. I can scrimp and save pennies and dimes when budgeting, but when SVPs above me decide they are blowing the wad for their department because they don't feel they should "suffer" like everyone else, well I just don't see the point to even bother.
