If they really wanted to get serious and stop fricking the environment they'd go for 69mpg.

They want to force manufacturers to abandon ICE.

With previously passed CAFE rules for 2024 through 2026 requiring a fleet average of 49 mpg by 2026, the feds are essentially asking for a fleet average of 58 miles per gallon by 2032.
2024 is right around the corner, obviously. They need a miracle for this to hit.

What happens when it doesn't happen?

Overall, the NHTSA says its proposal would save around 88 billion gallons of gasoline from now until 2050, equating to savings of $52 billion or a reduction in carbon-dioxide emissions of 900 million tons.


This just seems like chicken scratch, correct?

The goal is to kill car ownership. They know this is ridiculous and that's the point.

This is a by-product, the goal is control of citizens. It’s very easy to see.

ALL the middle class. Only folks with autos will be very high income earners.


Poor and middle will live in tiny apartments in the city while the rich will live in mansions outside of the city and will helicopter in.

If my math is right.... I just looked up consumption and in 2021 the US used 135 billion gallons. If this plan saves a total of 88 billion gallons total by 2050 that's about 3.25 billion gallons per year. (2-2.5 percent)

So, look at who is invested in Cobalt and Lithium concerns. This is driving this as much as the enviros.

Also if you wonder how lifelong doves in congress turned in to warhawks over Ukraine,
Look at the potential reserves of Lithium and Cobalt in Ukraine.

Our government no longer represents us. It now seeks only to rule us.

I’m not sure why anyone thinks it’s a bad idea to push initiatives for more efficiency and lower fuel consumption.
