Nobody is suggesting or demanding people give up their 8MPG pimp mobiles. But it your vehicle gets 8MPG and you are bitching about the price of gas - you are a effing moron!

In his weekly radio and online address Saturday, Obama said Detroit automakers are on track to build cars that average nearly 55 miles per gallon by 2025, doubling current mileage standards.
"That means folks will be able to fill up every two weeks instead of every week, saving the typical family more than $8,000 at the pump over time," he said. "That's a big deal, especially as families are yet again feeling the pinch from rising gas prices."
 whos families are you going to fit in a car that get 55 miles per gallon, Obama's Own wife cant get her big ass in one of them cars ..its a F tuna can ...and this crazy basterd is going to trun all are food in to Biofuel to cut the fuel price
You're one of the dumbest assclowns to have ever visited the Outpost. Grats.

Gas prices + company credit card = drive any gas guzzler I want, not to say I wouldn't mind getting better gas mileage as long as the vehicle size and towing weight stays the same.

Yeah i get to take my work van home sometimes. But even if I dont, 50 bucks is not much to fill the tank. I never let it drop below 1/4 tank anyway. 40 miles a day, 4 days a week. Not too bad.

The government has been subsidizing vehicles which way more than 6000 pounds through tax breaks forever. I feel sorry for people who own those suckers. They cant drive to the store and back for under $5.00. That adds up

Cars could get 55mpg today if they would roll back smog and crash standards to 1980 levels.
An 86 Fiesta gets 40mpg. A new one with the new 1.0L ecoboost has nearly double the power and is moving 50% more weight. Despite that it gets 50mpg. I didn't even consider the CRX-HF, or tiny euro cars.
Want mileage? Get the weight back down. Let engines make a bit of NOx in lean-burn cruising mode. Stop mandating hoods be taller. Stop mandating hundreds of pounds of extra safety equipment.
We've got the tech. Direct Injection, Turbos, and other things have massively improved engine efficiency. Stop leeching that efficiency away with add-ons.

It most certainly does. For every vehicle that gets 20mpg you need 3 other cars that get 100 mpg in order to average out at 50 mpg.
