"[T]he political climate is turning against the companies. Concern is increasing about global warming. Pump prices are high. People are worried about U.S. dependence on oil from the Middle East."Many of the candidates are pushing for average mileage standards of as much as 40-50 mpg by the end of the next decade. (AP)
