Yeah right.
Is that your professional opinion? Cars will be more expensive and less safe thanks to Obama and his liberal freinds.
Obama doesn't care it will hurt people, it won't hurt him or his family.
Obama: My Plan Makes Electricity Rates Skyrocket - YouTube
He believes himself a king and what he says GOES.
Remember though in 2012 to go out and vote for him again.
by 2025 people will WANT 50 mpg vehicles bad.
How much gas will you save over the life of the vehicle?
Who the hell knows, it should be up to the consumer which vehicle to buy, not your boy Obama..."Obama wants whats best for us" you people are a joke.

I want one now.
I didn't mention Obama, twit. You're ranting about how this is going to hurt the middle class. The question is, will it really?
These are Obama's standards idiot, anyway if people can't afford to by the damn cars it isn't gonna make any differance is it? i think we'll save more money by dropping the price of gas by a dollar you think?
1. Not necessarily
2. The passing of more stringent mileage requirements will serve to drop the price of gas, so in addition of having to buy less gallons you'll actually pay less for each gallon.

You can get close with a Prius.
Depending on your driving habits of course.

I remember in the late 70s when Reagan was chastising the Left because of their worries about the middle east, specifically the increased military costs associated with stabilizing the world's most vital energy region. Carter begged America to build a moonshot around using less oil - this would protect the economy from increasing gas costs.
Carter predicted that one day our economy would be thrust into permanent crisis by virtue of ever rising oil costs.
Reagan laughed at him.
Granted Reagan occasionally paid lip service to the energy crisis, but his policies told a much different story. Reagan lead the country to believe that oil consumption and middle east dependency was not a big problem. Indeed, Carter's dystopic future of oil-induced-recessions was a Lefty ruse designed to put government in charge of energy.
The oil would never run out said Reagan. Besides technology and God will save us.
(cha ching, cha ching for the oil companies)
Essentially Reagan was being a typical politician. Rather than telling Americans the truth and asking them to make sacrifices for the future, he told them what they wanted to hear. He reinforced the American desire to use oil and expand car culture like there was no tomorrow. No need to pivot toward a less petrol-intensive future. His political backers did everything to crush energy competition. His first act as president was to tear down the solar panels on the White House roof. There would be no energy competition in Reagan's America. We would spend the next 30 years expanding oil consumption at every turn.
The original poster comes from this lunacy. He is trapped in the propaganda literature of big business, which wants to protect their energy monopolies. He doesn't understand that higher oil consumption is the direct cause of higher gas prices - and that more energy efficient transportation would offset the higher front end investment into these new vehicles. He doesn't understand that we need to find ways to use less oil in order to avoid a future of never-ending energy shocks. He doesn't understand that we need to invest in light rail, more sustainable, less petrol-dependent urbanization, and cars that use less oil. He doesn't understand the logic of investment (paying higher costs now in order to avert much higher costs later).
Reagan convinced us not to focus on the energy problem in the 70s. This was one of the greatest political failures in American history - and we are now paying a terrible price for his kicking the can down the road. The fact that people are still using shoddy logic to maintain high oil consumption - in the face of rapidly diminishing oil reserves and exploding demand - is not only sad, it is beyond belief. Is the Rightwing media universe this powerful? How can they fool this many people?

You put that in the back of the truck.
Now if it comes with a trailer hitch for the passengers it could work.
