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.

But the plan conflicts with air quality rules passed by California. The administration supports legal efforts by automakers to turn back the rules, which sharply curb tailpipe emissions of global-warming gases.
