This is the first time and place I've seen this kind of forum, so I think with no model to follow - either directly or with fixes for any apparent shortcomings first - the people in charge are going to be doing a little stumbling around in the dark (so to speak). It's all uncharted territory at this point.

On the surface, one would think that 3 years should have been enough time to develop a reliable fix, but unfortunately "should have been enough" doesn't constitute a guarantee that it really was enough.


Dare I suggest that arbitrary mandates (i.e. that 55 equivalent mpg fleet average matter) can have the effect of bringing techniques to market before they're fully ready for prime time?
