Something's fishy when the proverb

 Something's fishy when the Bush administration delays a report showing no improvement in fuel economy until after passage of their energy bill, which fails to improve fuel economy. It's disturbing that despite high gas prices, an oil war and growing concern about global warming pollution, most automakers are failing to improve fuel economy.

 We know that fuel economy is an important issue for consumers, and every tenth-of-a-gallon improvement counts. We worked hard during the development of our new large utilities to squeeze out every possible ounce of fuel savings, and the result was the best fuel economy in the segment.

 Automakers need a consistent national policy for fuel economy, and national fuel economy standards cannot be written by any single state or group of states.

 The proposal to establish new fuel economy standards for light trucks is just one component of the administration's comprehensive approach to improving vehicle fuel economy.

 The next step is for the Legislature to pass A.B. 32, The Global Warming Solutions Act. Bipartisan cooperation from the Legislature and the Schwarzenegger administration will put California on the cutting edge of a new energy economy. Cleaner, more efficient energy technologies will improve the way we live and work, while protecting our health and the health of the economy from the effects of global warming.

 Even drawing from our existing power plants, plug-in vehicles have the potential to cut a vehicle's petroleum consumption by three-fourths or more, can operate at as little as one-fourth the fuel cost, and reduce greenhouse gases by two-thirds. As we increasingly turn to alternative technologies to improve the fuel economy of our vehicles, we will see increasing benefits to our economy, our environment, and our national security.

 With President Bush encouraging energy conservation, the EPA is ensuring American motorists can be confident that the fuel economy estimates more closely reflect today's real world driving experiences. Consumers weigh a variety of factors when shopping for a new vehicle. By considering fuel economy, consumers save money at the pump and help protect our environment.

 GM leads the segment, leads the category in terms of fuel economy and is committed to improvement in fuel economy going forward,

 These patterns combined with poor fuel economy in our cars makes transportation the biggest and fastest-growing contributor to global warming. Any meaningful effort to address global warming must include forward-thinking transportation and smart growth solutions.

 The president is claiming that he needs Congressional authority to set higher fuel economy standards for passenger cars. In reality, like Dorothy in Oz, he has had this authority all along but refused to use it. When given the chance, this administration has time and time again failed to make meaningful improvements in fuel economy.

 We believe that the (federal government) has sole authority to regulate fuel economy in order to avoid a patchwork quilt of fuel economy regulations.

 From falling wages and increasing health care costs, to sky-high gas prices and climbing poverty rates, the Bush economy is failing America's working families. The only thing worse than this Bush economy is the last Bush economy.

 If you look at surveys about buying priorities right now, fuel economy ranks sixteenth. For Honda buyers, its fourteenth. Only 2 percent of Honda buyers even think of fuel economy at all. It's not even on the radar. A fuel hike might get it on radar, but it probably won't make it item one, two, three of four. They see the larger vehicles meeting other needs and even with $2.50 a gallon gas, they're not going to necessarily give it up.

 Overall, I think they'll be OK, given that the economy is improving and fuel prices are starting to moderate. But nobody knows which way fuel will go, and to base your long-range planning on an optimistic view of oil prices, I think, is very risky.
