We received the following press release from Sony Music. It appears the band Fuel is trying to get Toyota to change the name of the tour there are sponsoring� read on.. 

Multi-platinum rock group FUEL have requested that the corporate sponsors of a rock concert tour that is causing confusion among fans �cease and desist� from using the FUEL trademark.  The group�whose two albums SUNBURN and SOMETHING LIKE HUMAN have sold over four million copies worldwide�have asked Toyota to refrain from using the �Fuel The Music Tour� moniker in conjunction with a rock concert tour that the car manufacturer is sponsoring.  

The Pennsylvania-based quartet�whose hits include the #1 rock tracks �Shimmer� and �Hemorrhage (In My Hands)� as well as �Bad Day,� �Last Time,� �Jesus Or A Gun� and �Innocent��have been known as FUEL since 1995. 

Songwriter/guitarist CARL BELL says, �We want to clarify any confusion among our fans, and just feel this is an unfortunate oversight by the organizers of this tour.  We wish the tour well, but we�ve fought long and hard to make a name for ourselves and don�t want to mislead music fans in any way.  Music and touring are what we do, so we have to protect our name.�

The group became aware of the problem when an ad for the �Fuel The Music Tour� ran in the February issue of a major music magazine on the same page as a photo of the band FUEL.  Fans of FUEL--who are off the road after touring for 18 months--began emailing their website and inquiring about the group�s participation in the �Fuel The Music Tour.�
