BTW what existing or conceivable vehicle that gets 54.5 MPG would anyone buy for more than short commutes? Oh that’s right we need to be herded into urban areas so we can utilized the wonderful mass transit systems that exist in say; Orlando, Tampa, Toledo?

Maybe when Obama is out of office someone can change the mandate to 54.5 kilometers per gallon.

I was looking at a recent issue of Consumer Reports and they weren't too pleased with the latest VW Jettas--thought they had been changed for the worse (cheaper materials).
