GM Tells Congress They're Committed to Meet New Efficiency Standards. By Ken Thomas, AP, February 11, 2009. "General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner said Tuesday the automaker is committed to meeting tighter fuel efficiency requirements as he met with House and Senate leaders who could play a role in developing global warming legislation. Wagoner was on Capitol Hill to meet with Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., and Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va. The two Democrats recently took control of committees with jurisdiction over the auto industry. Even in its weakened shape, GM has 'prioritized all the resources we need to meet fuel economy' standards set to rise during the next decade, Wagoner said. A 2007 energy law required car makers to meet 35 miles per gallon by 2020, a 40 percent increase."
