I realize that this is impossible to enforce, but the government shouldn't be giving tax breaks for people driving trucks/SUV's when they're not farmers.

Just a few nights ago...I heard it stated by some "expert" in the energy field that if fuel efficiency for automobiles was increased by seven and one half gallons per mile that the US would not have to import any oil from the Middle East.
If this is true or not...I do not know.
