Easy solution, include SUV's in the CAFE requirements. They are passenger vehicles, but the auto industry has classified them as utility vehicles which have entirely different standards.

So it does show that the manufacturers can build systems that exceed CAFE requirements. They need the incentive. larry -- Larry C.
