EW YORK, June 26 (Reuters) - The Obama administration is considering requiring all new cars and trucks sold in the United States to get an average of 56.2 miles per gallon by 2025, The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday.

Why not 562?

For the children.

One of President Palin’s first executive orders will take care of this nonsense.

They are going to have to increase the size of a gallon.

Or make the miles shorter.

Policy makers in the 0bama administration cannot set the fuel efficiency of a new car any more than FDR and his treasury secretary could set the price of gold, the Russians could set the price of the Ruble, or I can set the speed of light.

This summer, 1 in 4 teenagers will be able to get a summer job, because idiots in Congress two years ago actually thought that by edict they could set the minimum wage.

Economics, physics, and other quantified science and engineering disciplines do not bend to the whims of the most brilliant people alive, let alone dimwitted numb-skulls who labor within the confines of I-495. The result of their meddling is always disastrous.

If Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn is right, by 2025 we may have electric automobiles about the size of a Honda Civic go 800 km (497 miles) on a single charge and get recharged in about 15 minutes at a commercial direct current charging station. In that scenario, 56.2 mpg would be considered a gas guzzler because who’d want to buy a gasoline-fueled automobile when you can drive from Sacramento, CA almost to San Diego on a single charge of the battery?

We need the Senate in conservative hands in 2013, so the next Prez can overturn EVERYTHING Obama’s done!

[Blood of Tyrants]

He truly is out to destroy the US. He KNOWS that an average of 56 mpg is impossible.

Then there’s the strain on the power grid that they seemingly want to ignore.
