If auto manufacturers increased fuel economy by as little as three miles per gallon, consumers would save as much as $25 billion a year in fuel costs, the EPA said.

No mention of the cost to those consumers to pay for the technology required to meet these unnecessary and arbitrary standards.

What these zany environmentalists don't seem to count on, is that by driving the cost of new cars through the roof, many of us will keep or buy older, emissions-exempt vehicles. Thus the end result of their policies is more pollution, and greater fuel usage.

The auto safety experts believe that there would be an increase of 1,500 - 3,000 deaths due to the savings in fuel economy of 2-3 mpg. Which do you prefer, death or fuel economy?

I still have my 77 Ford F-250 4x4. It has a high performance 460 V-8, and gets an honest 11 MPG!
