House fuel deal is bad, but beats the alternative

Herb,

There is still lower CAFE requirements for trucks, unfortunately, in my opinion, this includes the mini vans and small suvs. There is no way that a minivan, PT Cruiser, Explorer, small crossover SUVs and the like should be grouped with trucks for CAFE, they are cars.

PS: please email or PM me a current email address, all the ones I have for you keep bouncing back.
