Sorry I didn't cut n paste all of the article. I could have added this also. I would expect the cost to our country due to air pollution is vastly over-hyped...but just my opinion. But since just about all climate control and oil usage is over-hyped...I expect I'm correct.

The auto industry will be required to ramp up production of more fuel-efficient vehicles on a much tighter timeline than originally envisioned. It will be costly; the Transportation Department last year estimated that requiring the industry to meet 31.6 mpg by 2015 would cost nearly $47 billion.
