DETROIT -(Dow Jones)- General Motors Corp. told federal regulators that plans to make light trucks more fuel-efficient could jeopardize the vehicles' safety, the Detroit News reported Wednesday.
In a 127-page filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, GM said a federal proposal to increase fuel economy in light trucks by 1.5 miles a gallon would cost $1 billion, the paper said. The company also asserted that it would entail making trucks lighter, therefore making them less safe.

NHTSA has proposed increasing fuel economy standards on light trucks to 22.2 miles a gallon from 20.7 miles a gallon by 2007. GM said in its filing that it would likely only be able to achieve 20.8 miles a gallon in 2007.

i'm sure they just change the date and hit print every time they complain about raising mpg
