Um, what the fuck about this thread are you not understanding? they ARE upping the CAFE standards… Thats the whole point of the thread.
The environmental thing is a nice plus, but the real money maker on the deal is the national security aspect. Do you know what would happen if Russia, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, etc. were to up and decide that they are no longer going to sell us any of their oil? $4.50 gasoline would seem like the bargain of the century. It would go up to $20 per gallon, there would be huge shortages, riots, looting, the economy would grind to a fucking halt, etc.
Do YOU feel comfortable having the countries mentioned above having us by the balls? I don’t. If we could increase the average MPG of all vehicles by a 1 or 2 MPG is would be a HUGE impact on the disparity between foreign and domestic oil.
Moron.
Do it man. Show those motherfuckers. Put the GS in the garage, sit in that bitch with the garage door closed and rev it up to like 3 or 4K for an hour or so, then open that door and let one big fat cloud of smog out as a big FUCK YOU to Obama. Don’t worry if you start to feel relaxed, warm, and sleepy… just go with it. That’s Jesus trying to tell you you’re doing a good job.
