1. John Crawley
2. He is a writer for Boston.com
3. It is pretty credible.
4. There will be a 40% increase from todays MPG by 2020.
5. Yes
6. I saw this same fact on many websites.

I think that this is a true fact. The United States has not been doing a good job of trying to stop global warming and saving our environment. The facts that all the sources I looked at basically said that the United States does not get good gas mileage on American made vehicles.
