Summary:
Today on The Environment Report...
Small cars were hot when gas was more
expensive. Lately, nothing's selling.
Some people think a higher gasoline tax
would be a good way to get small cars moving
off the lot again. Samara Freemark reports
even auto dealers and automakers are lining
up behind the idea of a hike in the federal
gas tax.
And... Lester takes a look at whether a
gas tax would really fly... and how some
people think government regulations and
tax incentives are a better way to get
more fuel efficient cars on the road.
