Hey Ed, every automobile manufactures makes small fuel efficient cars all the way up to large trucks and SUV's. Most people are not going out and buying the tiny cars you wish they wound buy. They are buying mostly larger sedans and SUV's. And yes, we are smart enough to understand fuel costs.

for our security, economy and environment Notice what a mindless talking point this is. I get how the Dems try to make the "environment" part of the argument, but adding security and economy is just plain fantasy. But Brain Dead Ed dutifully repeats it just as its written on the DNC talking point memo he got.

Man... If Trump does this, it will be one of the BEST THINGS a President has done in a long, long time...
This is a personal pet peeve of mine. MANDATING fuel efficiency is the WRONG WAY To go. It’s anti-liberty. Anti-Free Market.
Just so mis-guided. Let US make our own judgments about cost vs efficiency vs safety.

There are people who want fuel economy in a car. The manufacturers will provide economy to the extent possible. Key words there : to the extent POSSIBLE.
