Ford, along with larger rivals General Motors Corp. and Toyota, is part of the Washington-based Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, a trade group that opposes a U.S. Senate-passed bill to raise the combined average standard to 35 miles per gallon by 2020 for cars and light trucks.
Idiots! Don't they think that the public will demand much more than 35mpg, much sooner than 2020?? Obviously there is some good crack available in Washington, and the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers is smoking the bulk of it.

Hell...I'd like 35mpg right now - not 12 years from now!
