Tell-A-Friend: Tell Toyota to get in gear on better gas mileage!

Pass On This Message to Your Friends and Ask Them to tell Toyota, "Shame on you!"

The message below asks concerned Americans to help get Toyota back in gear. Putting the fuel-efficient Prius on the road was an important step, but if Toyota is serious about fighting global warming, it needs to support an increase in U.S. fuel economy standards to 35 m.p.g. You can help us bring overwhelming pressure to bear on Toyota by forwarding this message to six of your friends, family members or colleagues.

The message below, about Toyota's shameless effort to block the first improvement in U.S. fuel economy standards in nearly 20 years, was sent to you by:

Dear Friend,

The same car company that put the world's best-selling hybrid on the road is now asking Congress to drive America's energy future into a brick wall.

Toyota has sold more than one million Prius hybrids to environmentally conscious consumers who want to do the right thing for our planet.

But, incredibly, the company is now forsaking us by opposing the first improvement in U.S. fuel economy standards in nearly 20 years!

Please go to http://www.nrdconline.org/campaign/Toyota_Action_Global_Warming and tell Toyota to get back in gear by supporting a measure that calls for a fuel economy standard of 35 miles per gallon by 2020 for cars and light trucks.

Congress is negotiating an energy bill right now that could do just that -- and save America 1.2 million barrels of oil each day by 2020, more than we import from Saudi Arabia.

But the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers -- the powerful lobbying group that includes Toyota -- is claiming that a 35 m.p.g. average for cars and trucks is "unattainable".

Go to http://www.nrdconline.org/campaign/Toyota_Action_Global_Warming and tell the maker of the 50-m.p.g. Prius to get out of reverse!

Thank you for taking action to reduce America's dangerous dependence on oil.  
 
Sincerely,

Frances Beinecke
President
NRDC Action Fund

P.S. If you're a Prius owner or are thinking of buying one, please be sure to say so in your online message to Toyota.
