Are you kidding? GM insanity inside.

My comment about this not being a big deal comes from the fact that they have so long to get it implemented. The reason you haven’t seen many manufactures freaking out about this is they know they just need to get a few real high MPG vehicles into their lineup, as well as bump the economy cars they sell a ton of up a few MPG and their all set.

As FightinMike obviously failed to realize while acting like he knows it all, and as has been mentioned, it’s an AVERAGE. So if you sell a few million Cobalts and manage to bump them to 40mpg you can easily sell a couple hundred thousand CTS-V’s getting 20mpg.

1 million @40mpg

• 200k @ 20mpg
  = 36 mpg CAFE

Throw in some plug in hybrids that are going to score incredibly high on the EPA loop and I don’t see this being that hard of a goal for GM to reach.

And funny how Lutz left this part out, the part about how GM will actually get a big break under the new CAFE standards:

Hold on there buddy, only part I messed up on was I thought he was asking about cars, not companies.
