If you had the nagging feeling that US automakers were lagging in the fuel-efficiency (and sustainability) sweepstakes, you were right.
This report from the Union of Concerned Scientists rates auto manufacturers on a Green scale. Unsurprisingly, but still a shock, the last three in the list were Chrysler, Ford and GM!
Chrysler "is Public Polluter #1, with the worst global warming performance in half the classes in which it produces vehicles. Its small pickup trucks produce more smog than any class of vehicles from any other automaker."
The next time you purchase a car or truck, choose one with the lowest emissions and highest fuel economy that meets your needs and budget. Automakers need a strong signal that consumers care about the environmental impact of their vehicle choices.
