I realize I might be coming off a little agressive, what with the point, counter-point and all. But my issue is not about the fuel economy. I'm all for more efficient cars; whole heartedly! But we could have reached this goal soon enough, so my problem is that it was forced on the industry, which means higher cost to implement this stuff NOW, as opposed to over time, where the costs would have been spread out.  |
I'm saying that 35 mpg CAFE is REAL, it's not a fictitious idea and we can just dismiss.
Off-topic but I think with increased purchase price for cars people will probably be forced to hold onto their cars longer, and I know this will effect lease payments as well. Unintended consequences.
