This petition is intended to help both the economy and the environment by encouraging the implementation of a more realistic emissions standard.
Business is stifled by the high cost of fuel and the limited mileage caused by US-EPA emission controls.
The 'carbon footprint' of US vehicles is higher than that of vehicles in some other nations.
Whereas efficient use of fuel is essential to economic growth and reduction of green-house-gasses; We the undersigned hereby petition the current administration to change the emissions standard from "emissions per gallon" to "emissions per mile".
