Politicians have been talking about CAFE so much because it can be fixed with one bill. They don't talk about all the fuel burned by airplanes and wasted by inefficient houses that use subsdized heating oil. They only go after "easy" fixes, that's why we still don't have a solution for the cost of health care.
Good question but this is an old problem that will never really get solved because the oil and energy companies will continue to pay our politicians off and only offer "feel good" solutions like hybrid vehicles.

Thank you for a great question. Our dependence on fossil fuels is at the root of most of our environmental and national security questions.
