One thing we haven't done is go to the federal government and enlist their aid in respect to our current situation. |
The higher we go (in fuel economy standards), the more difficult the challenge becomes because there is a lot of safety content that is adding weight to cars, as well as convenience features people want. |
To us, there's a great opportunity to communicate our activities and issues at these conventions. That's part of the political process, and we have good reason to participate in that process, so we take advantage of these opportunities when we have them. |
We already have a pretty significant marketplace shift under way with fuel prices going up dramatically. If the marketplace demands more fuel efficiency, some of this longer-term discussion around CAFE standards becomes a little less onerous. |
