Flanked by representatives of the automotive industry, the US president said: "This agreement on fuel standards represents the single most important step we've ever taken as a nation to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.""And just as cars will go further on a gallon of gas, our economy will go further on a barrel of oil."

The new corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards will increase from 2017 at 5% annually for cars and 3.5% for light trucks through 2021, with an overall target of a fleetwide average of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025.

I just can never forget the high school assembly where some guy from I don’t know where came to tell us all about the marvelous inventions we’d see in the future. He said that right then, they were creating a gas engine that got 100 mpg. That was decades ago. Was he making up some whopper? Or was he telling tales that the corporate kings did not really want known?
