well.. there is a fool involved, but no its not an April fool joke!
No, it’s for real. It’s part of the electrification of transportation agenda. Auto companies will be fined by how much they exceed the requirement. The mileage is an average across all sales. Lots of electric vehicles will allow lots of big pickups.
my Chevy Spark is already averaging 38 mpg.
Well, a good plan would be to buy up a bunch of older used cars.. Buy for a little, sell for a lot.. $$$
I'm sick of out of control government bureaucracies dictating how we live our lives.
More to push us into electric cars. I don’t have an extension cord that is any longer than 100 feet, so I cannot drive one of those damned electric cars even to the store at the end of the road and that is .6 of a mile.
This is the administration’s long range plan for “easing” the impact of soaring gas prices. Force new car models to be high mpg shoeboxes, so that increased mpg will compensate for increased fuel costs.
Soccer moms will feel the pain most.
Buy vehicles now, and stockpile them (garaged & properly maintained). They’ll be worth many times their current price, since they’ll lack the remote shutoff capabilities and flimsy chassis (due to the MPG standards) of future vehicles.

Let’s Go Brandon! Aluminum for everyone.
I’m presently driving a loaner until a part comes in for a recall item on my car. I was given a 2021 Chevy. It gets 34.7 miles per gallon at the rate of speed I go. My 2008 get about 23. Even with pension I don’t anticipate buying anything new.
Why not make it 100 mpg, or 500?
Since it is not based on anything other then to force Americans out of their affordable transportation into electric vehicles that last around five year before batteries need to be replaced.
Elections have consequences. This is just one.

By 2030 all Dictatorships will demand you only drive an EV , they’ll never make enough ,LOL
As real as Wash state banning new gas powered cars.
Our Malibu averages 32 miles a gallon open road, 28 in city. With the AC running.
My truck gets 9.2mpg and programmed for 93 octane or higher. My 75 C3 is about the same 9mpg.
We use the wife’s Escape at 24mpg most of the time.
Unless the supply of electricity grows significantly, as the demand rises due to these tyrannical government EV mandates, the price of electricity will also grow significantly.
So much for Xo Xiden’s promises of huge savings for the consumers who are forced into electric vehicles.
Who in the real world, other than worshipers at the Tesla Temple, actually believe that electricity prices will remain stable?
This scheme can only work if, along with the mandates, new generation capacity is created, and corresponding revamping of our decrepit distribution networks takes place.
Is that going to happen? Probably not until we reach a crisis stage, and then it’s way too late.
"The National Highway Traffic Safety [???] Administration"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Desperate, elite federal Democrats and RINOs are once again not only hiding behind non-elected bureaucrats running constitutionally undefined, so-called federal regulatory agencies, but election year Congress is wrongly letting these bureaucrats get away with stealing state powers to deal with politically correct global warming to make their unconstitutional edicts imo.
In fact, the only mention of public safety in the Constitution limits Congress's power to deal with safety issues to suspension of Writ of Habeous Corpus in cases of rebellion or invasion.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 15: To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions [emphasis added];"
"Article I, Section 9, Clause 2: The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it [emphasis added]."
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
And since stolen state powers (imo) have been mentioned, why aren't state lawmakers complaining about blatant federal government overreach? (The answer is that state legislatures foolishly gave up their voices in Congress when they unthinkingly ratified the ill-conceived 17th Amendment.)
Corrections, insights welcome.
Next, patriots are also reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates.
Again, insights welcome.
