Rising gas prices? Bring 'em on
If Americans keep suffering pain at the pump, Washington might actually get tough on fuel-economy standards.
Amanda Griscom Little [2006-05-15]

  • The wrong nostrum

    Part of the reason why we are where we are is because of persistent government intervention. Leave the situation alone, don't try to bring the prices down and watch the sudden surge of high gas milage cars suddenly appear. All without the benefit of CAFE. It happened back in the 70s except not for the US car makers. They couldn't handle the one two punch of CAFE and pollution controls (which always results in lower gas milage). The only thing that CAFE got you was a flimsey car.
