I guess his "Addicted to Oil" comment wasn't just bunk. He is raising fuel standards again and it should be a good deal.
The proposal issued last summer would lead to a projected fleetwide average of 24 mpg by 2011, a total improvement of 1.8 mpg over four years. Automakers would need to meet fuel economy targets based on their mix of vehicles.
He also is beginning to sound like an environmentalist in his speeches about this subject.
Bush, in a news conference on Tuesday, did not mention fuel economy changes but expressed interest in working with Congress "to advance an agenda that will make us less dependent on foreign oil, an agenda that includes hybrid cars and advanced ethanol fuels and hydrogen cells."
