Locked away in a safe at the oil companies is a secret carburator that will give cars 100 mpg........ /sarc.
Thanks for the link. I see what you are saying.
Let’s see now...Obama doesn’t like the suburbs...he wants gas to be $10 per gallon, and wants cars to attain and impossible 50+ MPG, as in “buy an electric golf cart (Volt).
It’s almost like he wants to “corral” us all into the inner cities...you know, for more efficient “herding” and easier gun confiscation.
It’s the Muslim/marxist/commie way.
When these standards ultimately prove to be unattainable (which they will), Government Motors will get a waiver. None of the others will.
our cars will get nearly 55 miles per gallon, almost double what they get today.
and with this increased mileage, guess what the tax per gallon will be?
looks almost like a “Henry J”!
Obama is indeed a moron.
But what the “ONE”, says you must believe!
Gosh! That's wonderful!
Why wait? Let's do it now!
I also have a bridge, formerly found in Brooklyn, that I can ship to any buyer. Sorry. No COD's.
Be sure and ask our operator about free shipping.
But wait! There's more!
Are you following me camera guy?
I heard over the weekend storm coverage that approx 3% of the people in Cuba own cars.
That’s a reasonable goal for the Baraqqis.
Any engineering projection more that 5 to 8 years in the future and any political projection more that 3 years out is nothing but smoke & mirrors, swampland real estate brochures or “of course I’ll respect you in the morning” talk.
If it can be done and you REALLY want to do it then 3 to 5 years is usually enough. (Going to the moon took a bit longer, but I’ll cut them some slack on that achievement)

She needs to convert that 2 stroke to Direct Injection, even better if it was LPG-DI....
It that’s what comes with it, no other cars need exist
Ont eh radio this morning they said this new standard will help consumers save about $8,000 per year on fuel...however they didn’t say how much more expensive a new car is expected to cost (the unintended consequences of liberal intentions).
None taken!
I have four cars and the most economical of those only manages 25mpg! :)

Bump.
I just renewed my subscription to Hemmings Motor News.
ANY vehicle I buy in the future will probably come from there.
When PBS interviewed a retired EPA type about it 10-12 years ago, he was quite smug. They were fully aware that demanding that U.S. manufacturers "Trabantize" their offerings in order to get weight down for CAFE improvements, AND modify their carburetors and combustion engineering as well, that the cars would wind up shedding up to 2000 pounds per vehicle.
They knew. They did it anyway.
That simple? Thanks! It has been very embarrassing having to post unformulated gobble-gook.
