New CAFE rules nearly double fuel economy by 2025 - Toyota Yaris Forums

This stuff comes and goes. I'm not going to look it up, but remember when 10% of all cars on the road in California were supposed to be electric by 2010 or 2012 or something. They make these efficiency rules, but retract them right before they come into effect. There are plenty of high mileage cars made now, they just never make it to the US...hmmm.

because they have no hope of meeting our kinda insane crash standards. Either that or they are so underpowered they couldn't be driven on an open highway.
