More SUVs

Ford Motor Company admitted Thursday that sport utility vehicles emit more pollution and contribute more to global warming than cars. The auto giant said it will not stop making the highly profitable vehicles, but vowed to seek alternative technologies to reduce their environmental impact.
Ok..so now the head of the National Propane Gas Association is excited about his propane-powered Ford Excursion, an environmentally friendly version of the Ford's largest heavy-duty sport utility vehicle.
Ford last month began putting a fleet of 24 Excursions modified to burn liquefied petroleum gas rather than gasoline in 20 U.S. cities for field tests lasting up to two years. The nearly 19-foot, nine-passenger SUV is the first propane-powered vehicle to meet California's super ultra low-emission vehicle standard.
"It's a monster machine," Dan Myers, executive director of the National Propane Gas Association, said Thursday. "But driving it, you don't notice a difference, except people stare at the white cylinders tied to the roof."
