The Road to Recovery Begins in Detroit

The Freedom from Oil Campaign, formerly known as Jumpstart Ford, is working to end America’s oil dependence, reduce oil related conflicts, and stop global climate change by convincing the entire auto industry to dramatically improve fuel efficiency and eliminate vehicle greenhouse gas emissions.

In his 2006 State of the Union Address, President Bush announced that “America is addicted to oil.” We consume more than a quarter of the world’s oil, yet we make up less than five percent of its population.

Transportation alone accounts for more than 70 percent of our oil consumption.

Freedom from Oil

We’ve changed the name of our campaign from Jumpstart Ford to Freedom from Oil to better reflect the need for broad change throughout the auto industry. Though we still believe Ford Motor Company has the most to gain by severing its addiction to oil, it’s clear that the future of all auto companies depends on their ability to build the fuel efficient cars that consumers want.

Whether it is Ford, GM, Daimler Chrysler or Toyota, one of the automakers needs to break away from the pack by taking concrete steps to lead in fuel economy.
