I wouldn’t get too enthusiastic about this if I were the environmentalists (or the alphabets). If Obama has one consistent trait it is his willingness to toss aside anything that gets in the way of his personal advancement. Family, friends, faith, party, media, military, ideology have all been tossed aside when it was inconvenient for him. And the moment it appears the standards will endanger his fundraising or reelection chance, the enviros will be under the proverbial bus with the rest of us.

I think I'll go out and poke a hole in my truck's catalytic converter.

Time for auto manufaturers to unite: We will not comply!
To: dcgst4
Talk about a toxic wasteland!Yep.
But I think our plan would make it LESS toxic than it is today under neo-fascist rule.

I pity any businesses dependent on light trucks as they will become very expensive or non existent under this plan. Try hauling a load of hogs to market in a puny hybrid powered truck.

“Environmentalists are hailing the move as nothing short of historic,”
No, nothing historic about this. Commies have been dictating laws by fiat in this country every time a DemonRAT administration is in power. What will be “historic” is the backlash.

Newtonian Physics is what determines gas mileage. The higher the MPG, the lower the Curb Weight of the vehicle.

Oh yeah, in terms of destruction of wealth and lives, it’d be orders of magnitude better than anything else that’s been done in decades.

Good news....Your light car will get you killed so the government wont have to worry about a doctor bill. Yup...a win win for govt. ... and think of the savings in burial expenses. The car doubles as a coffin. What could be more green?!

My 6000 lb Chevy truck gets 13-14 mpg,and my 3100 lb Chevy car gets 25-28mpg.
My parents' 1970 Opel station wagon got 28mpg,it probably weighed less than 3000 lbs.
All this tinkering with fuel systems can squeeze out a few more points of efficiency at ever-increasing costs per percentage pointb but the laws of physics can't be changed by any government .Not even one lead by the Kenyan impostor.
