Automakers Highlight Low-CO2 Vehicles

Wasghington DC August 8, 2007; The AIADA newsletter reported that automakers are putting a new emphasis on cars and trucks that excel at cutting carbon-dioxide emissions to reduce global warming according to USA Today.

In the past, CO2 was treated as just a component of the noxious vapors spewing from tailpipes. Now, it's being singled out. "Thanks to Al Gore, people are becoming aware of this extra factor," says Dominick Infante, spokesman for Subaru, which is looking to reduce its CO2 footprint.
CO2-reduction goals go hand-in-hand with better fuel economy. As a general rule, "The more fuel-efficient your car is, the less greenhouse gas emissions it's going to produce per mile," says Ron Cogan, publisher of the Green Car Journal.
He says he's noticed the shift of emphasis to carbon footprint. "The focus has changed. More people are paying attention to greenhouse-gas emissions."
