Didn't you get the memo?
Obama wants to raise the CAFE standard to 45 mpg. I say make it 1000 mpg. Problem solved.
It's just like the Minimum Wage. Make it $100 an hour and everybody's rich.
See how easy that is?
What’s wrong with issuing a challenge for better fuel efficiency? Do you want to go back to the 5/10 mpg cars of the 60s? All those got hit BAAAADDLY during the 70s oil shock. And car makers learnt to make more efficient and yet more powerful cars.
