You get a tax break for a Hummer?

This month's "Consumer Reports" has an article on the cars with the best mileage. Would you say CR is reliable with those estimates?

1- Why has the Bush administration cut or eliminated funding for alternate fuel sources, except for fuel-cells? A technology that won't be feasable for at least 30 years?
Bob Hubbard said:2- Why can GM produce and sell a vehicle, a mini-van in fact that averages 43 MPG city for only $5,000 in China? They make a profit, it's Fuel-Smart, but not available in the US. (See Wuling Sunshine)
Bob Hubbard said:3- Why does buying a Hummer get you a tax break, but buying a hybrid not?
Bob Hubbard said:4- Why is the CAFE standards for the US only suggested to rise to 27.5 MPG car/22.5MPG SUV/lighttruck while the European Union is commited to requiring a 39MPG average for cars by 2008?
Bob Hubbard said:5- Why does the new energy bill give $8.1 BILLION! of it's $14.5B tax breaks to oil companies, who are already showing a 50% increase in profits?
Hmm....

I remember in the early 70s, we'd drive across the border once a week to fill up because it was so much cheaper in Canada.
