There are ways around that. GM's cars officially average 27 mpg, meeting current CAFE regulations. In reality the average fuel economy is about 22 mpg right now. Either way, they still need to do a lot of work to get their average up. 100 mpg Volt's will help.

That is a very good question. I hope not but it is a possibility.
