Quote:And the 90s was amoung the worse decade of vehicles manufactured ever. You had some of the worse quality vehicles in the 90s we've ever seen. You can push for fuel economy and set artificial standards all day long but if it's not market driven and the technology isn't there it's just an artificial marker to make the environmentalist feel good. why stop at 54 why not 60 or hell make it 100?

You can thank Ronald Reagan and deregulation. Clinton didn't touch CAFE or the automakers.


Hard for me to believe the US technological prowess can't manufacture more fuel efficiency cost worthy. But maybe they just suck and the foreign auto makers are just that much better.


Keep in mind the automakers begged for money and these standards were a condition they all agreed to. Nice job.
