“But it did not take into account what the benefits might be if, in fact, that happened again and we went back to the 1973 situation. So in effect the study does not take into account the potential of that major price differential. But much more important, is the Senator aware that the list of technology on which the assumption is based, that you cannot meet 35 miles per gallon, is a very different list from the list of technology available under the National Academy of Sciences? And is the Senator also aware that the study assumes that you include all 8,500-pound vehicles, which we do not include? So if you take out the 8,500-pound vehicles, the study of the Senator is completely inapplicable. Is he aware of that, that we do not have 8,500-pound vehicles in our proposal?”
