I've thought this numerous times. The federal government alone purchases tens of thousands of vehicles every month... what about state, county, city etc. etc. etc.
I've also wondered... if the government gives, say $5 billion in research money to car companies to establish a more energy efficient car. Do they get a discount on purchasing said car after it is created?
The government has tremendous power... good power, in influence... they should use their influence more as opposed to demands.
