Why should gov'ts spend billions of dollars of taxpayers money on fuel efficiency programs when private enterprise will have to solve the problems anyway if they wish to remain in existence. I just can't see the big oil companies one day saying, sorry folks - no more petrol. And the big auto manufacturers will have to develop a fuel efficient engine if they want to keep selling cars. Let the share/stock holders foot the bill, they're the ones deriving a benefit. Bet the Conestoga didn't receive a gov't research grant.
