Isn't this a lot like "stepping over a dollar to pick up a penny"? Irregardless of the fact that the *last* thing the US auto mans need right now are more crazy regulations to attain & eat up all new R&D money...but what about the US consumer? They *estimate* it will only add $1300 to the cost, but last time I checked, folks already think cars are overpriced, so they crank up the price even more?

And I'm afraid to ask how they're gonna make up for the lost revenue from the road tax...!
