Automakers launching ads against CAFE increase

"Despite rising gas prices and a growing concern about climate change," the DetroitNews writes today "the auto industry is going on the offensive to convince Americans to oppose dramatically higher fuel economy requirements."

"Led by Detroit's Big Three and Toyota Motor Corp., the industry is launching print and radio ads this weekend warning consumers that fuel regulations under consideration by the U.S. Senate would lead to higher vehicle prices and smaller and less safe vehicles."
