Exactly.

Getting to 30 mpg wasn’t too hard.
Getting to 40 mpg is very hard.
Getting to 52 mpg is almost impossible, especially in a car that people actually WANT to buy. People are still buying gas-thirsty trucks and SUVs in big numbers. Getting people to change their behavior is a huge problem. Under Obama, gasoline was headed (artificially) to $10/gallon where the libs wanted it which would have forced people to buy these ultra-high mpg blobs. I don’t think anybody predicted what a huge success fracking would be at holding the line on gasoline prices.

Fracking did make a difference! wow.

I have a Dodge Challenger that if i don’t drive like a maniac (even at 51) gets 20 plus miles to the gallon.

And I can break it out when I want to.

I DONT WANT an electric OR hybrid car!!

Leave me alone government!! :)

My friends cousins neighbor had a carburetor that would get 100 mpg. He made it from a coffee can. Honest!
