Hi Llin123:

___You have to realize Toyota sells a ton of SUV’s in the California’s and some are some of the worst polluters on the planet. They simply have to join the suit …

___What really ticks me off and the automakers will easily blow holes in any California CO2 emissions limitation is that 1. The highway speed limits are 65 - 75 throughout much of the state, and 2. California does not enforce the speed limits anyway. I would love to see the court room when the Auto manufacturers bring up study after study showing #’s of CO2 emissions/mile (gallons of fuel consumed/mile x 19.x + 9 #’s/gallon for upstream refining) posted against speed limits. Next slide will show a particular stretch of highway in and around San Francisco, L.A., Sacramento, and out in the desert. Once the actual speeds are revealed, the auto manufacturers will breath a sigh of relief because although CARB means well, the state government will not do its part to reduce said emissions through lowered speed limits and enforcement of said limits.

___Good Luck
