A lobby of environmentalists, auto industry workers, and dealers trying to get legislation in place to get the US to a 35 mpg AVERAGE for vehicles by 2020. The auto and oil industries say it would be impossible and financially ruinous - ignoring the fact that Europe and Japan already reach this rather low standard.

Sadly enough... This was also a promise of the Clinton campaign, until one by one the standards were lowered excluding SUV's etc until it was done away with altogether... Kinda reminds me of National Health Care...

35MPG by 2020. Is the really the metric of success... we are fighting for this? We should be shooting for above 60 MPG by 2020, and a 20% reduction in single occupancy transportation brought about by improved infrastructure.
