Light Trucks are much more fuel efficient than they were 15 years ago because of EPA regulations. They certainly still are not as efficient as cars. Of course, the automakers have no control over what people do with them when they leave the lot. nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyPDF.cg...

Oh I know they are but that's not saying that much is it? If cities and suburbs banned cars/trucks with bumpers of a certain height, I guarantee you auto companies would be able to make a profit and meet or beat those fuel targets. We should protect kids and just assume big auto will be fine.
