Oh look! Congress is trying to do what the free market is already doing! By 2020 most people won’t be using gas. We’ll just be paying more for electricity to recharge our cars.

Full disclosure: My fleet already meets the standard
1948 Harley - 38mpg
2000 Yamaha Zuma - 75mpg
2000 HD Electra-Glide - 40mpg
2007 Suzuki V-Srom 1000 - 45mpg
2006 Stella Scooter - 75mpg
2006 Scion XA - 34mpg
2001 Ford Ranger 4x4 - 18mpg

Average mileage: 46.43

I can buy another gas guzzler and still meet the standard!

Um, Poser, you really do need to apply a weighted average. If you leave the two-wheelers parked in your garage and only drive your Ranger, your weighted average is 18 mpg. If you joy ride one of the two wheelers on a weekend and use the Ranger as your daily cruiser, your weighted average goes up to maybe 20 or 22 mpg. Sorry to rain on your parade.
