Does that even have enough power to hang truck nuggets off?

Do they think car manufacturers are creating less efficient engines on purpose? This admin is so stupid

If it’s an average over all vehicles in their line up, they better start pumping out a lot of EV’s.


Advantage Toyota. They can keep on selling 150,000 Tundras that get 20 mpg while selling millions of high mpg hybrid corollas, prius, rav4.......

Wasn't clear

You'll save $500 per month in wheel ware as you'll only be driving on your back two wheels.

which won’t amount to a single percentage point in global emissions


If the US ceased to exist tomorrow, China and India would make up for those lost emissions by 2030.

Car manufacturers will just make up new units to abide by this. The new Jeep Wrangler hybrid averages 49 MPGe*

*Miles per gallon of gasoline equivalent

Basically, it still gets less than 20 mpg, but if the hybrid battery is fully charged you can go 30 miles without using fuel. So they just add those two together and create a new bullshite unit.

I wonder who the dumb shite is behind the scenes that is coming up with all these dumbass rules and laws. It has been barely over a year and these laws that they have come up with have been some of the most stupid in American history. Inflation rising, gasoline out of control, economy on the brink, WW3 on the edge. Yet these retards more concerned about LGBT, climate change, and raising minimum wage at McDonalds.

Why don't you lead the way by commenting on the topic at hand instead of trying to attack another posters comment?

What do you think of 49 mpg by 2026?
