Gas Guzzlers and Global Warming
Tuesday, October 03, 2006
One of our cases now in progress challenges the Bush administration's new fuel economy standards, i.e. MPG, for light trucks and SUVs for model years 2008-2011. The new standards are 22.5 MPG for 2008, 23.1 for 2009 and 23.5 for 2010......incredibly weak when you consider that motor vehicles are one of the primary causes of global warming pollution. When I dug into this case, I was amazed to find out how the MPG-setting process works. Basically, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) obtains future production plans from the car companies, then tweaks them by adding on additional pieces of fuel-efficiency equipment until the cost of the equipment outweighs the incremental benefit of the gasoline savings. In other words, NHTSA doesn't really challenge the automakers to innovate from scratch, they just put lipstick on the gas guzzlers. Making matters worse, the agency acknowledged that the reduction of greenhouse gases would be a huge benefit in the overall cost-benefit equation, but then assigned that benefit a $0 value because they claim it is too "uncertain." This case is being briefed right now and will go to the court in early 2007. We can do so much better - we should be getting at least 40 MPG out of our light trucks and SUVs.

I don't know what the targets are but there is a product on the market that will reduce emissions from cars by about 75%. The product is called the MPG-Cap. On a normal car not using the MPG-Cap when you pass your finger on the tail pipe it gets black. On a car using the MPG-Cap there is virtually no black from emissions. It is quite amazing. All older cars should be forced to use this product.
We have experienced sustantial
increases in gas mileage and reduced exhaust emissions b
dramatically/b in our fleet of vehicles using the Fuel
Freedom International ( FFi )MPG-Caps.
Imagine the improvements to the environment and less
global warming when everyone uses this product.
For more information please click on my name.
I have been using the FFi MPG Caps for over 1 year now. I have reduced my cars emissions by 65%.
I know of others here in Northern California that have reduced thier emissions up to 100%. Everyone should know about this product and using this asap. I am saving money because it is giving me more mpg also! Excellent product!
I have been useing the FFI MPG-CAPS
for 9 months now. It is the greatest thing that you can do to help your wallet and the environment. The MPG-CAPS really do lower emissions and increase gas mileage. I get 4.75 more miles per gallon. So if you want to try this product go to this site bwfuelbooster.myffi.biz and try the MPG-CAPS today. You will go crazy over these pills
The environment and the cost of fuel are the most important reasons to be using MPG-Caps and that's the exactly why I do. everyone should be concerned,so the thing to do is check it out at www.petro88.myffi.biz.
I have found a way to reduce emissions on my SUV as much as 60%. I have been usinf the MPG caplets for a year now. Not only do i reduce emissions i save miles per gallon. This really works!! This product is fully backed by it's company. everypne should be using this,our enviroment is at stake. www.getupandgofuel.myffi.biz.
California in 2006 imposed the Country's first statewide cap on emissions of the heat-trapping gases that are blamed for global warming!
MPG-CAPS is the product that is helping California achieve this goal. Not only am I helping reduce emissions, I saved my Fedex driver $500 in fuel costs last month!
Ask me how at ronautotech.myffi.biz
Just attended an intl. Biofuels/
Biomass conference at the CA. EPA.
Speakers all said that NOW is the short window to act to decrease greenhouse gases, but most agreed that measures resulting in signicant decreases are at least a decade way. 40% of GHG in Calif. comes from vehicles (using fossil and biofuels), and 250 billion gal. of fossil fuelis used yearly in the US for transport.I have chosen to do something NOW to decrease my vehicles's carbon footprint - I use the MPG-CAP and get 14% increased mileage (3.5 mpg
more and that much less gas), and know (per tons of research)that my car's emissions are lower. Please refer to my website to see how you can also walk your talk - NOW:
www.coolmpg.myffi.biz
A pill that can give u more gas mileage to the gallon, cost u less money every time u fill up at the pump, and cut your emmisions by 75% or more!
This is a no brainer!!!
Everybody should be using the "MPG-CAP"
With gas prices the way they are, we have nothing to lose and everthing to GAIN!
Together we can keep our air safer to breath one pill at a time.
Visit me at www.petropro.myffi.biz and reap the many benefits!
Since using the MPG Cap, my car runs better, I get increased gas mileage and my emissions have been reduced (just had a smog test done). Its a proven product we should all be using. Check my website @ www.gaspower.myffi.biz
I have been truely amazed by how much better my car runs using the MPG Caps. Everyone I know who has tried them has been impressed. I have seen the emissions reports. It is truly amazing what a differene the MPG Caps are making.
