The key word here is average...
If they really wanted to get crafty, they would make the old d-50 again..{remember the d-50 ram 4cyl. actually made by mitsubishi for dodge? {I had one back in the day...}
They could do that again, have a small truck that gets 35mpg, that takes the blunt hit off the CAFE...
As long as the average is above the min., they will be fine..
Plus I bet the feds will be quite lenient if they {manufacturers} start getting more E85 friendly..
Besides, I believe as the law sits now, many vehicles are already in violation...
Plus they {manufacturers} can "borrow" on future emmisions..
It gets quite complicated..

I agree totally.
I am merly stating that polititians will be more lenient lawmakers, if manufacturers are ethanol friendly.. Not that ethanol is any better.
{although I did make more power in my old falcon using a alchohol carb and gasahol back in the late 70s early 80s...}
And the thread is old, but I felt it was still relative to right now..

True, and if we hadent dumped as much freon and aerosol as we have in the past 15 years,, it wouldnt have mattered so much what Mt. St Helen did.
But we did, so that made what Mt. St Helen did that much worse..
Im not saying mother nature doesnt contribute, but we sure contribute to mother nature as well...
