Obama sets a good example
There goal is to force more people to ride the bus and not own a car.
True, the amount of oil consumed will be reduced, because the middle class will not be able to afford to buy these cars, so people will be doing less driving.

Obama sets a good example
I'm just waiting for the factory installed gooseneck trailer hitch.
There are cars in production and for sale around the world that already exceed that mileage—but they are prohibited from sale in the U.S. Do you wonder why?
Let’s do some math. Assume that we all had cars that got double the average miles per gallon. It stands to reason that we’d use half as much gasoline, right?
The average of state, federal and local taxes imposed on a gallon of gas is about 49 cents per gallon and these taxes raise about 37 billion dollars in taxes for government in an almost invisible transfer from the consumer to government.
Do you think the governments will let half of the money from this reliable tax cow disappear from their budgets? The answer will be a doubling of their taxes levied on each gallon of gas, raising prices to the consumer.
By the way, Exxon makes about 26 cents per gallon of gas, about half of the amount of taxes levied.
In Obama’s grand vision, most of us will be forced to use scooters and bicycles to get around.
That’s the way that it worked in the crap-hole of his dreams from his childhood. His vision of the future is America reduced to being a third-world cesspool.
It can be done GM made a car in 1996 that got 100 mpg but couldn’t produce it because it didn’t have any safety equipment.
Can’t have it all I guess.
FUBO!
How many UNION thugs will lose their jobs if no new model cars are bing built?
Or will the last model year car just keep being built until the public boots these ‘standards’.???
