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.

MYTH!

The Ford Falcon, in 1961, got about 30 miles per gallon.

Challenges are voluntary, Mandates aren't.

What's wrong is we live in America, not the Soviet Union.

You drive a Go Kart so the powerful Politicos can fly around in 757’s, like Pelosi wants to do.

The Free Market will fuel innovation, not proclamations from idiot Politicians without Engineering Degrees or Business Experience.

I prefer to be Governed, not Ruled.
