Thread: this is CRAP!!

Yep, they'll figure a way to do it.

I wouldnt worry about it too much, CAFE is Corporate Average Fuel Economy, that means AVERAGE economy across every make and model by each given manufacturer. Cars that fall below this standard get a gas guzzler tax which already exists, just with lower standards. 35 mpg shouldnt be a big deal, that is 12 years from now and there is already a lot of cars really climbing in the gas mileage department. SUVs and Trucks are going to get hammered the worst, but the diesel trend will likely continue to grow and help out a lot. The reality is most people dont care what it costs to drive something that they want to drive.... Look at all the people driving Suburbans and such that get 10-12mpg in town and cost 40K+ new. Whatever manufacturers get pegged for gas guzzler tax just gets passed on to the customer.
