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.

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!

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

The EPA rated the Smart car at 42 MPG from what I found. Obama whats another 14 MPG.

Better get used to the push mower based car, only $87,995! Oh, and the Dems will still get to ride in limos and SUVs.

Obama & Co. are delusional to the point of not living in the real world. We are in the midst of a world recession which has devastated US manufacturing, transportation, farming and food production are hurt by high energy costs and our government has become a burdensome weight on the back of taxpayers and business.

All the green ideas involve schemes that are not cost effective and require government money (our taxes) and gimmicks to even look like they are break even.

Cars and trucks that average 56 mpg will be cardboard boxes on little plastic wheels, will run on tiny gasoline motors that charge electric batteries made of rare earth metals and toxic chemicals and the battery cost will be 50% of the vehicle cost. You and I won’t want to buy and own one, but there won’t be other choices available due to government fiat. Where in the US Constitution did the federal government get such powers?

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

In their dreams. The nobama regime will have no influence on anything beyond Jan, 2013.

This is perfectly reasonable, so long as you put sails on it and you have a good tailwind.
