I'm sorry, no I didn't. To be honest, I breezed right to the end of the thread because I'd been following this since before the thread was started...

I don't personally believe the biggest concern of the current automakers are new startups when something like a 56mpg mandate is looming. Especially the big guys like GM or Ford, who (of all the automakers) probably have the biggest influence on how the rules get written. But I suppose that could just be me.

The sad truth is that people at-large believe this regulation to be a good thing (because it's real easy to make that case at face-value). And so it gets done out of ignorance. :(
