UAW and Fuel Economy

Living la vida loca?

According to the UAW's Ron Gettelfinger, American automakers are unfairly portrayed as not competing on fuel economy, stating "Unfortunately, there is a misperception that the Big Three only make gas guzzlers, while Toyota is a division of Greenpeace."

I don't know, Ron. The Big 3 trail both Honda and Toyota year-after-year-after-year on fleet fuel economy. Are those facts based on misperception?

Without the profit margins of Detroit's most fuel inefficient vehicles, bankruptcy would be unavoidable. Yet, Toyota and Honda could survive.

Perhaps the real problem is Ron's misperception of reality? Time for a new UAW President?
