I appreciate your concerns.
GM is doing many things to address America's energy needs and transportation needs:
>E85 -- by the end of this year, we'll be able to produce E85 for less than a dollar a gallon - however much more work needs to be done in terms of capacity and infrastructure -- we need your help in writing to your congressman and senators.
>Hydrogen -- we have well over 100 Equinox Fuel Cell vehicles on the road today -- this is a long-term technology that must be developed.
>Active fuel management -(cylinder deactivation) -- we're a leader -- avail in many of our trucks and cars
>Hybrids -- we started with Inter-city busses -- and are working our way DOWN the scale - because our plan is more planet friendly........Silverado 2-mode coming this fall -- Tahoe2mode and Malibu Hybrid out there now.....Tahoe 2mode can pull up to 6200 pounds -- haul 8 people -- comes as rwd or 4wd --has a 6 liter V8 engine with lots of HP and Torque to meet your needs -- Active fuel management - and gets BETTER combined fuel economy than a Toyota Camry 4 cylinder -- now THAT's a game-changer.....
>Chevy Volt -- (read about it at chevy.com)
......and we're working on many other powertrain improvements and technologies --we're class leading in terms of fuel economy when it comes to a full-line manufacturer..........
All of this costs money -- the problem is that the new CAFE laws will add a huge cost to our cars and trucks down the road --
......so yes -- by all means -- you need to make your thoughts known to your lawmakers.....
