I hope like hell this doesn't gain any headway and dies. Both of my "antique" diesels get between 27-30 mpg, running on a fuel that cost less to produce than gasoline. The government has the CAFE standard which car manufactures have to meet. Currently I believe it's 27 mpg. That is the average fuel economy of all their cars. Well hell, my cars meet and beat that. You can bet the car manufactures are smiling about this one.
