The problem is that they are not pushing car manufacturers to make automobiles that get higher gas mileage. This would hurt the oil industry.Thank goodness, though that consumers are now demanding vehicles that run on ethanol as well as gasoline so that they have a choice at the pumps. Consumers have also voted for hybrid vehicles as a way to cut gasoline consumption, which is why Toyota for the first time ever has beaten Ford in U. S. sales.If the consumer wants it loudly enough, the government and industry will usually comply (eventually).
