AutoPacific survey of about 26 000 new car buyers finds seven in ten would switch to fuel-efficient vehicles only if gas hit 2.09 per gallon. Thirty percent say they would not change vehicles regardless of price. Regulators should focus on other methods to cut pollution, says Sierra Club.

Astronaut Andrew Thomas expressed concern a delay could push his return, but mission chief Frank Culbertson reassured they will retrieve him.
