Default An Easy 30% Reduction

The title of the article is actually Japanese cars top ‘greenest’ list. It does mention ACEEE's (www.greenercars.com) greenest - and meanest vehicles. Meanest:
  • 8.3-liter, 500-horsepower Dodge Ram SRT10 pickup truck
  • Lamborghini Murcielago
  • Bentley Arnage
  • Dodge Durango
  • Dodge Ram 1500 pickup
  • Hummer H2
  • Ford F-250 pickup
  • GMC Yukon XL K2500
  • Volkswagen Touareg
  • Chevrolet Suburban K2500
My favorite quote in the article

I don't know if FE would also be reduced 30% along with the greenhouse gasses, but it would probably be significant.

Over the next five years that would seem like a very easy sacrifice. Factor into that some could easily move down a class...
