One thing with the CAFE regulations that I don't quite understand is that Europe is the home to nearly all the top performaning cars (and yes they are all impractical and/or expensive), and yet they also have higher fuel economy standards than the new 35 mpg CAFE that is comming. So, as long as the bulk of the cars that are sold get good mileage, then what is the problem offering some high performance cars and large trucks that get reasonable mileage (unlike euro supercars that get under 10 mpg)?
