A Faith-Based Fuel Initiative
The New York Times writes: "Mileage standards are still 27.5 mpg. Except for minor tweaks, Congress has refused to raise fuel efficiency requirements or close a gaping loophole that lets SUVs and pickups be measured by a more lenient standard. Americans who heard President Bush's State of the Union address, including his pledge to reduce America's gasoline consumption, can be forgiven for thinking he was finally ready to change that. But all Mr. Bush really asked for was the authority to set mileage standards in a different way."
