The national news about the housing market isn’t good. And skyrocketing gas prices trigger fears about the impact on the economy. Now a new study suggests that the two issues have more to do with each other than previously thought.

The wrong way to save on gas
04/29/2008:
It sounds like a miracle. The Bush administration - in a campfire hug with automakers - wants higher gas mileage for cars and trucks.
The package, unveiled last week on Earth Day, came wrapped in ribbons: a 25 percent boost in fuel standards by 2015, a full five years earlier than a somewhat similar package that squeezed through Congress in November. That legislation, the first meaningful change in mileage standards in decades, was itself a milestone.
So why the sudden love-in that improves fuel-economy numbers even more? Maybe it has to do with gas prices, politics and hidden favors - the trifecta of modern energy policy.
