Fuel Economy Plan Bypasses California to Help Out Detroit
The secretary [of Transportation, Norm Mineta] said a sweeping fuel economy proposal unveiled Tuesday by the Bush administration would lower gas bills for sport utility vehicles like the Navigator and other trucks. It would save $800 million to $1.3 billion over nearly two decades when the higher upfront costs for more efficient vehicles are included.
