Seems to me that requiring better gas mileage does a lot less in supporting terrorism than giving money to some regimes that do support terrorist groups. For instance a 5% increase in the CAFE standards (fleet average gas mileage) will save more than the equivalent of the oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve every year. That's less money that goes to those regimes, and less damage done to the environment.
