The US government and the auto industry actively support the manufacture of SUVs that contribute to Americans' deteriorating health, US dependency on foreign oil, and the increased threat of global warming. All in the name of personal profit and corporate greed.

The light-truck "loophole" allows SUVs to have much higher emissions and worse gas mileage than regular passenger cars. In fact, SUVs and other light trucks are permitted to emit 29% to 47% more carbon monoxide (CO) and 75% to 175% more nitrogen oxides (NOx) than passenger cars.

3. If they have the technology
to make SUVs more fuel efficient then why don't the car manufacturers use it? I would think that it would actually improve sales of their trucks and SUVs in these times of $2.50 per gallon fuel prices.
