There is no way my family or myself are getting into one of those death traps and going down the street. He is so into the "greenhouse effect" he needs to look at all the city buses that shoot out black smoke as they drive down the road. Those of us who have worked our lives to the bone so we could afford a vehicle we wanted and enjoy should be able to have that. Most states have emissions in effect all ready, if you don't pass you can't get a tag... that should be sufficent. How does anyone, and I refer to ANYONE feel they have the power or right to direct any citizen as to what kind of vehicle they can own or drive. And what about the semi-trucks who move product from state to state for all of us to purchase and enjoy. He is talking about monies spent on oil and how much his doing this idiotic thing would benifit spending.... has he ever considered; STOP sending monies to other countries;STOP letting non-US citizens over here; STOP sending space ships to space every few months, no one really cares - heck non of us are moving up there are we? This country is in such a bad state it will take years to correct, each and every city is in debt over something or other, yet Hillary Clinton just promised another country monies..... I am dumbfounded! Try taking care of your own backyard first, employ our neighbors and family who were born and raised here and pay them more then $7.25 per hour so they can support their families, STOP giving the jobs to the illegals who work for pennies then send it over to their country and families, take care of us first!!!!!! Hummmmmmm, I wonder, is Obama going to get into one of those little circus cars with his family and go on an outing too? I'll bet not!!! Is OBAMA out of his freeking mind?

Using the example of the 2010 GMC Sierra hybrid light truck that gets about 20.5 mpg overall, it is obvious that the 30 mpg standard cannot be met by existing technology unless a lot of very small vehicles are classified light trucks to offset the shortfall from the full-sized light trucks... the volume leaders in that segment. I also wrote that if the EPA gave each non-petroleum fueled vehicle an arbitrary rating of 150 mpg that the standard might be met with a full push toward compressed natural gas powered vehicles (CNG). There is precedent within the existing regulations.
