I will refrain from comment for fear that I'll cross the AZ cardinal rule of "no political discussions" really quickly
You mean like how GM now stands for "Government Motors?"
Probably would have gotten there by my 6th or 7th reply

HAHAHA -- did you use one of those web translator thingies? The second sentence makes no sense.

Yes comrade, I [Ponima?]No more speaking farking sputnik. I'm sure you guys are just talking about pirogies and snow and shit, but cut it out.
Name that movie?
I like the idea on a lot of levels. It's expensive and all, but the longer-run cost savings (both in fuel and the environment) are huge. Transportation is one of, if not the, largest energy use sectors, and improving the efficiency (and safety/reliability/etc) of the on road fleet is a good thing, I think.

it's lame. It's a government sponsored way to get new cars off the lot. I think the government has f'd with the free market/domestic makers hard enough since january; leave well enough alone. I'll have read the actual bill. But as it was proposed, you theoretically could go out and use the money to buy a newer pickup. The devil is in the details.
To me, this makes about as much sense as tearing down your house to built one that's more energy efficient. "look! I'm going to save $500 a year on my utilities! Let's ignore the fact that i just used half a forest worth of trees and litteraly tons of other raw materials...i'm saving the planet!!!!1111"

Who cares about gas mileage? Shouldn't it be consumption that we care about?
Give everyone a tax credit equal to 8000 miles at whatever the current CAFE standard is and abolish the CAFE standard while reducing the tax credit year on year to be equivalent with the planned increases in CAFE. Don't reward people for getting a more efficient car that they still drive 30,000 miles per year.
