we are gonna tech our way out of that crap... GM, Ford and Chryslers trucks will all get 26 mpg now... the 450 hp corvette will get 26-27...
Worst case make them ditch cars that get under 20...
we have real problems with aholes driving 1960 work trucks and 1970's-80 dump trucks who just cover the earth in black diesel fuel soot.
Seriously its fricking ridiculous. And they need to check those piece of crap ford 3500 diesels also... I dont care if its brand new, that thing spit diesel like its a fire hose.
Chevys arent as bad... piece of crap fords...
real 3s'ers have NoCar transfer cases...
Paris is a dirty, smelly city, so I can understand the intent.

Nobody wants a 2wd, regular cab, manual shift truck. That's the only thing that gets even close to the number you're talking about, and they still are a ways off from that.
Corvettes have been getting that kind of mileage for eons, as long as you keep your foot out of them. Nothing groundbreaking there. My 99 C5 easily got 31 mpg at 75mph on flat ground. Hell, my dad's old 87 IROC got mid to upper 20's.
Feel free to buy new cars for people that can't afford new cars...
