As a respond to rising concern about the supply and cost of energy from abroad, the Baltimore government set tighter gas mileage rules Wednesday for pickups and sport utility vehicles, which include bulky SUVs like the Hummer H2 and Chevrolet Suburban.

The new fuel economy rules will be covering 2008 through 2011. And it would save 10.7 billion gallons of fuel over the lifetime of the vehicles sold during that period! The rules will take a more aggressive stance than a Bush administration proposal issued last summer, officials said.
