[Lee Loe]

If the bill includes ethanol and other biofuels, it's a trick and no good.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Reps. Edward J. Markey (D-MA), a senior member of the
House Energy and Commerce Committee, and Chairman of the Select Committee on
Energy Independence and Global Warming, with Rep. Todd Russell Platts
(R-PA), member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure, Education and
Labor, and Government Reform Committees, and a bi-partisan group of 40 other
Members of Congress, today introduced legislation that will require vehicles
classified as cars and light trucks to improve their fuel economy standards
by at least 4 percent every year. By 2018, the fuel economy standards of the
automotive fleet must be at least 35 miles per gallon, an improvement of
about 10 miles per gallon from current levels.
