An obvious step: boosting the fuel efficiency of America's truck and auto fleet. The NRDC claims that more than three times the amount of ANWR's petroleum could be saved if American fuel economy was raised to an average of 39 m.p.g. from current levels of 20.7 m.p.g. Efficiencies generated by a simple upgrade of the replacement tires installed on U.S. vehicles could save nearly 5.5 billion...
