I am with Lebell on this one here, but for my own reasons as well. You are limiting people's choices here, and choices are freedoms my friend. In a free market economy, the government has no place in telling manufacturers or consumers what to make/buy. Sure, the people can get together and say hey, Ford, GM, Dodge, etc. make some more efficient cars because we're gonna start buying these other models if you don't. Which is what is occurring right now. Yeah, it makes more sense economically to get a more fuel efficient car, that's why consumers buy them. I own a 95 Ford F-150 because I use it for more shit than just hauling my lazy ass all over the place. Helping friends move, hauling stuff and other things like that when I need it. The manufacturerers will make the decision to move to more fuel efficient vehicles on their own without help from the government, law of supply and demand my friend, Ford, GM, and Dodge will either adapt, or die.
