    Default Why 54.5 mpg is really 40 mpg

    It was historic when President Obama announced a wide-ranging agreement with automakers and the state of California that will get cars to a whopping 54.5 mpg by 2025. Wow, 54.5 mpg! But did you know that, because of loopholes and outdated testing procedures (dating to the '70s) 54.5 mpg is really 40?

    2025, so far past peak oil that people will demand only the best mileage cars, and even then drive much less. I wonder what will hit $10/gallon first----pure bottled water or gas!!!! Probably gas around 2020.
