"Unfortunately, the CARS program does little to encourage consumers to buy vehicles with the best fuel economy. Believe it or not, an owner of a 14 mpg gas guzzling truck could trade that vehicle in and get $3,500 taxpayer dollars toward the purchase of a 15 mpg gas guzzler! That kind of purchase will not help reduce our dependence on oil or slash global warming."
Or they can buy a bicycle and consume NO oil and contribute NOTHING to global warming?
Although we ride bikes whenever possible, we live in an area where a car is a must. We have only one but it's a necessary evil. I don't have a problem with Sierra Club or any other environmental group giving me information about vehicles ( though not so sure about promoting vehicles that really aren't that efficient). I make that as a general statement as I haven't read the article or ad that you reference.
