keep in mind that the auto industry can buck back with things...if the mustang exists, the challenger will exist...so long as chrysler doesnt screw it up..fuel concerns arent going to run off the mustang or the corvette, as they are american icons...so that cant be the excuse for the challengers demise, should it happen.
amandas grandfather has a 300C, and on a trip to texas, he got like 30mpg...a guy from MF has a new Z06, and on long highway stretches of conservative driving, he gets around 30mpg, although he gets like 6 around town...
Although it is true that many people are able to get much better than the EPA's ratings, the problem is that these stupid laws do not take into account that these ratings are not completely accurate. Now, I don't have a problem with raising the standards a little, but this is just unrealistic. Trucks will not be able to get anywhere close to 35mpg and don't think for one minuet that this is an accident. Both parties are under the choke collar of radical environmentalism and this is going to hurt us more than it is going to help us. Just watch for the unemployment numbers rise as fuel prices continue to rise and cars get smaller and shotty.
At least this will give us 13 years to get a good car before they ruin the car industry.
