Bonus snark:Consumer demand is based on gas prices, not fuel economy standards. In 2008, when gas prices were over $4 a gallon, consumers abandoned SUVs for fuel efficient cars. Since then, gas prices have gone down and SUV sales have gone up. It's the fear of losing the profit margins from SUV sales that is driving this statement from Mark Fields.
Fuel economy rules have nothing to do with consumer demand. Most consumers can't even afford the vehicle they own.
