...driven limousine for a chauffeur-driven Ford Pinto. Some legislators have gone so far as to attempt direct action against the big car. Early this month, the Senate voted to require that by 1984 all U.S. automakers increase fuel economy by an average of 50% or more over 1974 models???a move that would surely force a drastic reduction in size and weight unless some radically more economical engine is developed. A number of other bills before Congress would clamp excise taxes on new cars on the basis of weight or horsepower...
