In an interview with The Detroit News, president and CEO of General Motors Dan Akerson said he was in favour of a new gas tax as part of a renewed energy policy in the United States.

He says charging between 50 cents and one dollar more at the pump would encourage consumers to turn to smaller, greener vehicles.

"People will start buying more Cruzes and they will start buying less Suburbans," he says.

He doesn’t approve of the stricter Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) regulations that could force automakers to reach a designated fuel economy rating for their entire lineup.
 
Big fucking deal, now gas in USA would be the 3/4 of Europe's price instead of half.
 
what he is saying is that he prefers a 1$/gallon gas tax over the CAFE average MPG ratings for car companies.
 
50 cent/1 dollar tax will cost him a few hundred a year, CAFE would cost GM good engineers, R&D, etc etc etc, money they probably don't have and innovation they can't come up with.
