I read something interesting in the latest Motor Trend. Remember when the
EPA was lowering CAFE requirements about six months ago and Chrysler
chairman Lee Iacocca was screaming bloody murder about how unfair it
was that his company met CAFE requirements and that GM and Ford were
getting a break for breaking the law? Well, the list of cars that
will receive the "Gas Guzzler Tax" is in, and three domestic cars are
having fines levied against them: The Chrysler Fifth Avenue, the Dodge
Diplomat, and the Plymouth Gran Fury. Ford and GM may have lower
than necessary averages, but at least their hoggiest gas hogs get
decent mileage as land yachts go, and aren't being fined. Good
going, Lee.
