New fuel standards
Posted April 1st, 2010 by MikeThe latest directive from our command-and-control government is that vehicles should get 34 mpg by 2016.
Which makes me wonder if there will be a substantial aftermarket for increasing the ‘pep’ of cars after manufacture. Or if it will suddenly become economical to make wasteful electric cars.
In other words, there is clearly a market for people who want vehicles whose unique characteristics make it impossible to get 34 mpg. So make those things guzzle electricity instead of gas. All electric is green and efficient right?
It also means buy an SUV right now, because they’re gonna be golden in about 6 years.

True. And to be honest the electric cars are really not more efficient. Yes, you might get 10 maybe 15 more miles per gallon. But what about disposal of these high powered batteries? I am thinking that we are going to cause a lot more environmental issues by trying to be quote “More Green”. And yes I hope that i can affore a big honkin truck before the 2016! hahaha
