> Dear Supporter,

>

> In June 2002, Bluewater Network asked the

> Environmental Protection Agency to make fuel mileage

> stickers on new cars more accurate. EPA’s fuel

> mileage labels are misleading consumers by seriously

> overestimating the fuel economy of new cars -- by as

> much as 40 to 50% on some car models.

>

> The good news is that EPA responded by proposing new

> tests that take into account higher highway speeds,

> more aggressive driving, air conditioner use, and

> colder temperatures. We believe these new tests will

> greatly improve the accuracy of fuel mileage

> stickers on new cars.

>

> But the fight isn't over yet - in order for this

> proposal to be adopted, EPA needs to hear from you!

>

> TAKE ACTION!

>

> Please send an e-mail to EPA supporting its proposed

> new testing methods. Letters of support are critical

> to ensuring the proposal is adopted. Tell EPA that

> the government should be truthful with consumers

> about fuel economy. Click on or paste this url into
