Yeah they got the PT classified as a truck (one of the biggest jokes I've ever heard of...hey U.S. Government, it's based on the Neon!!!) That's going to help them build a whole lot of gas-guzzling Hemi Rams.

Well, there's an epa fuel average that they have to keep across cars and trucks.. Cars and light trucks are two different sements.. So if the magnum was classified as a light truck, it would help the car avg, cause its relatively low in that area, but it would also help the truck avg, cause its relatively high compared to that class.
