Most amusing is the government's estimate that it would cost $1,300 or so per car to accomplish this. It's always wonderful how our government, which paid $7,000 for a coffee thermos and $240 million for a fighter airplane and $3 billion for a new presidential helicopter--money it doesn't have--always figures that private industry can produce miracles for next to no cost.

Anyone watch the movies Madagascar and Madagascar 2?

The chief penguin always asks for facts and figures from one of his underlings - and winds up getting numbers completely pulled out of the air.

Then he says “good - show me your math later!”

“35.5 mile average per gallon requirement “

Why not 35.25? What about 35.226578?

Heck for that matter why not 135mpg. If all you have to do is issue an executive order why not. No amount of analysis went into this order. It was pulled out of thin air. Nobody looked at the technical feasibility of this requirement. Probably no one in the Obama Administration is capable of understanding the consequences of this decision. When will the people wake up?

Just one more phase of “Hussein and Michaela’s Excellent Adventure.”

We are so screwed.
