“Driving Fuel Economy”

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/driveon/post/2010/09/60-mpg-required-by-2025---/1

The Obama administration is proposing new auto fuel efficiency rules for the future this week that may require car companies to meet an average standard of 60 miles to the gallon by the year 2025. Automakers’ plan so far: drive a car that gets 30 mpg halfway to your destination and walk the rest of the way.

Car companies will be forced to make more hybrids, develop efficient electric plug-ins, and will unveil their long anticipated Wile E. Coyote super-rubber-band cars.


Due to some confusion, engineers are now desperately trying to figure out how to make an entirely electric car use up a gallon of gasoline after 60 miles.
