Analysts blame consumer resistance to high prices and high interest rates for the ongoing slump that pushed U S automaker sales to the lowest June level in at least 17 years. Domestic makers fell 2.5 percent while foreign brands captured a June record 28.2 percent of the U S market. Analysts say sales remain weak as real income growth lags.

Oil firm officer surprised by state suit over disposal
Bob Sawvell general manager of S R Oil Co says he is surprised by Texas AG Mark White's lawsuit accusing the Nevada firm of dumping stabilized sulphuric acid sludge from used motor oil at unauthorized sites and using it in road paving. The 10 acre Fort Bend County site near Brazos River Authority canal is cited as environmental threat though tests say the acid is locked and not leaching. Sawvell notes $80,000 spent since November testing paving materials at 18 locations and asserts compliance efforts ongoing.
