“A recent national survey of 2000 representative Americans found that very large majorities (85 percent) are concerned about gas prices, think it important to reduce oil consumption (87 percent), and believe it important to increase fuel economy standards (75 percent). The survey also revealed that most Republicans, as well as most Democrats, agree that the federal government should require car companies to meet an average 60 miles-per-gallon (mpg) standard by 2025 with a five-year payback period (lower fuel costs pay for higher car costs). The survey, which is analyzed in a report entitled Rising Gasoline Prices and Households Expenditures: Will Policymakers Get Serious About Ending Our “Addiction to Oil” by Supporting a 60 Mile Per gallon Standard, was commissioned by Consumer Federation of America (CFA) and undertaken by Opinion Research Corp. on April 14-18, 2011. The margin of error for the double sample of 2000 is plus or minus two percentage points.”
