new fuel economy standards:
"The plan will require passenger cars and light trucks to get an overall average of 35.5 miles per gallon by 2016, according to a senior administration official with knowledge of the plan. By that year, cars will be expected to average about 39 mpg and 30 mpg for trucks.
Current fuel economy standards are 27.5 mpg for cars and 23.1 mpg for trucks."
This might be good for you diesel fans. light trucks need to have an overall average of 35.5mpg.
I fear that trucks are going to start looking ugly and wimpy because there probably goning to make them more aerodynamic.
plus what will this do to the 4X4 market.
