I consistently get > 50 mpg with my 2006 Tdi, so 54.5 is no big deal to me.
This guy is full of it.
Why not shoot for 99 mpg? /s
Liar. If you insist on 54.5 mpg then the only way to achieve it is by forcing people into Paper maché klown karz.
"If you like your SUV or pickup truck, you can keep your SUV or pickup truck."
What a steaming pantload that is. Why would anyone trust these people? Just like with health insurance, if the government forces the insurance companies to stop selling "non compliant" products, you have zero choice but to buy what government tells you to buy. The car makers will have to stop making products people want and force everybody into products the government wants you to buy. Freedom be damned.
"Obamacar"
The EPA is full of mentally ill LIB asshats who are unrestrained. Close the EPA!
“We are not forcing everyone into small cars. Americans can still chose vehicles that meet most of their needs.”
Where can I buy a station wagon then?
All of the EPA employees should be in Colorado manning a bucket brigade to stop their release of mine water to the river.
They will have to pry away my F-150 from my cold, dead hands.
My 400cc motorscooter only gets about 48mpg...!!
Only thing one needs to know about the EPA is they are lieing sons of B!@#&$!!!
Thus speaketh our federal overlords.
54.5 mpg ? at the same time, pushing E-85 ?
bwahahahaha -ha !
I think what folks miss here is that if the company does not meet the 54.5 MPG target, then the company pays a fine to the government for each vehicle sold.
It’s a tax.
Like the F’d up government needs more of our money...
I’m guessing they are holding out for 80mpg and a fleet of soapbox racers.
The EPA is a FRAUD in search of a mission.
The EPA Charter was to ensure U.S. energy independence.
EVERYTHING it has done since, is at odds with that charter.
They should talk the lying bastards.
Maybe they can explain the spill the caused by them up by Silverton Co? That one will contaminate all the water from there to the Gulf Of Baja as well as in NM.
First a Democrat Congress needs to repeal the Laws of Thermodynamics.
“If consumers migrate to larger trucks, etc”
I need to know just what kind of vehicle these people think their plumber/landscaper/roofer/handyman uses for their work?
None of them can work out of a Prius, unless the handyman can. Farmers, ranchers, horse owners, FFA & 4-H people need trucks to perform their duties.
When there is no longer a plumber to come to the rescue of an enviro supporter, will they finally get the message?????
