now, with these figures, the new car will not run well with 2 people in it, without groceries, suitcases, or the like.

Biden is demanding that all new cars MUST have fail safe equipment to prevent anyone who is impaired from driving...

MADD claims it could SAVE 10,000 deaths a year from drunk drivers........

In other news:

Over 8,000 persons in the USA are killed every year by venomous snakes.....

What is Biden’s plan for that????????

“ No, this won’t raise prices!”
***************

Of course it will raise prices. They’re not idiots but they think we are. The new mandate includes light trucks. Light trucks are the work horses of our economy. What this new mandate will do is push truck users into the 3/4 ton sector as these and above are exempt. Being these trucks are more expensive it will increase cost of doing business for a lot of people.

No one will take it seriously - it will wind up being a back-door tax. That simple.

How does Boosting Fuel Economy Standards Fight Climate Change? Please explain.

It is just a cover lie to get people to go along with the decree from on high.

The real agenda is to make automobiles smaller, less capable, and more expensive to the point where ordinary peasants, err - citizens cannot afford them.

"We have got to force people out of their cars", said a local city councilwoman some years ago, in a moment of stunning clarity. Of course, she was not including herself in that requirement. And she had a reserved parking spot at the downtown city offices.

The Servants of the People(tm) must have personal transportation on demand to deal with the urgent matters for which they are responsible. In fact, they may need drivers to convey them to and from their work.

Everybody else can just take the bus. Or the train.

It's about the power to order the lives of others.

Well if 40 is good why not 200? About the only way to get 40 mpg is on a scooter.

The mechanics are there to do this?? What is that a quad turbo charged two cylinder .5L engine with a sail? Was not planning on getting a 2022 but better get one before I end up in a two wheel s!!t box. FU Amtrak Brandon. Nice rulers we have. One an ahole who commuted by rail most of his adult life and another a senator from some crap hole state who is over 80 never had a job.

Nothing. 7000-8000 Americans are bitten by snakes each year, but only about five of them die from the bite.
