CAFE standards are being raised.
-- By model year 2025, the average American car or truck will get 54.5
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...
Jeeezus! Another moron. Do you even know what CAFE standards are?
FYI, beef prices will be dropping soon, since ranchers are selling
their cattle, due to drought... but human-caused global climate change
is a myth, and if it isn't it's Gore/Obama's fault.
You really don't expect a moron like Ingersoll to understand all the
elements that go into cattle prices, do you?
