It gives the village idiot something to convince his deluded followers that we don’t need to drill here now. After all we’re looking at 50+ mpg for automobiles and pickup trucks.
If the EPA was corraled and we were allowed to import more of the diesels from Europe we could get close to 50 mpg now.
Yep, pretty much. I'd prefer to see those engines built here,though, rather than imported from VW or PSA Peugeot Citroën.
