CAFE standards are being raised.

miles a gallon (the average car currently gets 23.8 mpg).
-- We'll have saved 12 billion barrels of oil and eliminated 6 billion
metric tons of carbon dioxide pollution.
-- A family that purchases a new car in 2025 will save $8,200 in fuel
costs, compared with what they'd pay for gas for a similar vehicle
bought in 2010.
-- All told, American drivers will save nearly $2 trillion over the
life of the program.
Well, that makes sense for Obama... I went to the grocery with my wife
last night, I was shocked. Beef is double, cereal is double, dairy is
double, why not cafe standards. I mean, it's not like *he* has to do
anything but sit back and collect his campaign contributions...
