So you have a fine that isn't a definitive number. To make it a definitive number would mean they make such a small amount of them that they are controlled through the production line.
That means your $X more fine just became a $XX dealer market adjustment.(and very limited quantity available.. who wants the z28 to be a 5-10k production car?)
GM wants to stay out of this especially since the whole challenger/gt500 debacle.

the post that I made was too short to explain what I meant.
lets say that the top 95% of GM's cars average 35 mpg by 2020, after taking in all the adjustments to be made for ethanol, footprint, and all the others. The rest average say 25 mpg. That drops GM's CAFE by 0.5 mpg.
So either everyone pays for a 0.5 mpg drop (GM's gonna pass the cost onto the buyer one way or the other), or the 5% that cause the problem knowingly pay for a 10 mpg drop.
