"We’ve
put in place the toughest fuel economy standards in our history so that
by the middle of the next decade, our cars will go twice as far on a
gallon of gas. Over the life of a new car, the average family will save
more than $8,000 at the pump. But the only way we’re going to break this
cycle of spiking gas prices for good is to shift our cars and trucks
off of oil for good." —President Obama in his Weekly Address: http://wh.gov/sqUN
