A large pickup won't have to make those numbers. They just have to sell enough 50mpg cars to to get the average up to 35 mpg. There are plenty of 50mpg cars in Europe. We will probably have to make safety more the responsibility of the driver, and go bact to th 55 mph speed limit.

Actually pickups and suv's fit under the "light truck" category with a seperate CAFE category, I believe this legislation does away with that distinction. Which is also why all the major auto co.s have their truck programs on hold, to see what is the outcome of this legislation.
