Somehow we are going to mandate the same mpg we were already getting 25 years ago?
Is life not grand?We the people let the makers back slide over the years for more stuff and less mpg.We the people should have stood our ground and demanded better and better mpg and they would have done it.Why is it that we the people need the Government to do it for us?
