I feel we need to get the big loads off the highway and back on the rails. So many people are afraid of getting run over that they buy the biggest monster SUV they can afford. The problem is no one want's to hear, "you're going to have to change, and by the way, you won't be making a profit this year."

Carter tried to outlaw gas guzzling cars. As a result SUVs are considered trucks and not subject to the same MPG requirememts or safety standards as cars. There are several 50MPG engines sitting in closets of the  car companies. They wan't to build cars for $400 and sell them for $40000.
