President Obama To Propose Legislation Limiting The Use of Pickup Trucks And Large SUVs

In an effort to boost fuel economy, as well as lessen the amount of
fuel used within the United States, President Obama is proposing a
legislation to Congress that will limit the use of both pickup trucks
and large SUVs. The proposed bill seeks to only allow for the usage of
such large vehicles only if necessary for employment and/or transport
of goods and services.
President Obama along with Senate Democrats, Harry Reid (NV), Michael
Bennet (CO), and Patty Murray (WA) have been drawing up the language
to make sure that no one is wrongfully put into a category that will
discriminate, and penalize the wrong people. However, if this bill
were to pass penalties may include fines and the possible impound of
vehicles.
"When looking at the cost of fuel in our nation, compared to the
supply that is necessary to fill the overwhelming demand, we found it
crucial to take certain steps to cut back on fuel consumption… which
will hopefully lead to lower costs since there will be more of a
supply for the nation as a whole." said Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid.
