Americans for Fuel Efficient Cars (AFEC) is a nonprofit group dedicated to decreasing America's reliance on foreign oil. AFEC was co-founded by columnist Arianna Huffington, film producer Lawrence Bender, environmental activist Laurie David, and movie and TV agent Ari Emanuel.

Our goal is to mount a citizens’ ad campaign aimed at getting Detroit to build cars and SUVs that get more miles per gallon and jolting our leaders into taking action to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Currently we are producing ads parodying the drugs-equal-terror ads the Bush administration is running. Lawrence Bender, producer of "Pulp Fiction" and "Good Will Hunting," and director Scott Burns, co-creator of the "Got Milk?" ad campaign, have agreed to donate their services to make these ads a reality through A Band Apart, Bender's production company.

To get these ads on the air we have established a nonprofit fund for the sole purpose of creating them. To find out how you can donate to this fund click here.
