Automakers GM Ford and Chrysler tell the Senate Finance Committee a gas-guzzler tax punishes consumers seeking family cars. They cite fleet averages and existing fuel standards as better tools, warn of reduced sales and unemployment, while supporting modest penalties and opposing bans on 1986 models under 16 mpg. Local officials discuss pipeline and power reliability issues as separate energy topics unfold.
