Now more than ever, we need to implement the solutions and technology that exist today to start saving oil. Making our cars and trucks go farther on a gallon of gas is the biggest single step we can take to cut our crippling dependence on oil and curb global warming. Ford and other automakers have the technology to make new cars, SUVs and pickup trucks average 40 miles per gallon - 66% further on a gallon of gas.

Please take a moment to call and ask Ford Motor Company to do its part to cut America's reliance on oil by boosting the fuel economy of new cars, SUVs and pickup trucks to 40 miles per gallon.

You can call Ford using their toll-free customer service number at 1-800-392-3673, then press 3 and at the next prompt press either 1 or 2. When a customer service representative comes on the phone, tell them that Ford needs to use existing technology to make cars and trucks go further on a gallon of gas. Here's a sample message you can leave:

"Hi, my name is _____ and I'm calling to urge Ford Motor Company to raise the average fuel economy of its vehicles to 40 miles per gallon. Using existing gas-saving technology, Ford can make its new cars, pickups and SUVs go farther on a gallon of gas. This is the single biggest step we can take to cut our dependence on foreign oil and curb global warming. Thank you very much."
