And again I say, the A in CAFE stands for AVERAGE. You can still have some gas hogs, you just have to balance them out with higher efficiency models in other classes. Vettes get like 30mpg so don’t even whine about sports cars being on the road to extinction. If this keeps Suzy Q. Soccermom from buying a fucking land yacht to truck her one kid to and from school and her own fat ass to and from the mall, then good… fuck her! OK, mr big governmnet supporter. So what is going to happen if the gov gets involved(more than it is already) and starts upping the cafe standards? I bet the manufacturers find another way around it and continue doing the same thing they have been doing for years, only now we will be wasting more taxpayer money and countless other BS than the manufacturers have to go through which will up the price of cars/trucks. my old 62 buick got the same gas mileage as my cars do now, that CAFE is sure working like a fucking charm. :rolleyes: The soccer moms will still have their 8 mpg suv’s regardless. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/obama-car-related/202804)._
