Car Dealers Fear Obama Fuel Standards Will Make New Vehicles Unaffordable

The White House is expected to OK federal standards in the next few weeks that will nearly double vehicle gas mileage for vehicles by 2025, as automotive dealers warn the changes could slam the recovering retail car industry because they will come with sticker prices that will keep buyers off their lots.

The recommendations call for “fleet wide” gas mileage of 54.4 miles a gallon by 2025 -- essentially the average gas mileage for cars, trucks, vans and all other vehicles in a model year.

The Environmental Protection Agency and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration submitted their proposed 2017-2025 fuel-efficiency recommendations in mid-July to the administration’s Office of Management and Budget.

  1. I think they all have cars that will double mileage but we can't sell them in this country because of the gas tax

  2. Of course it will hurt auto sales. That is the goal.

    Barry's bosses want to destroy our economy. Then they will create order out of the chaos. That is the Freemasonic plan for global government. Our President works for the great great grandchildren of kings and queens. They are the Masters of the Universe. Everything happens by plan.

    He is their puppet. He makes no decisions and does not write the scripts which appear on the TelePrompTer. He merely reads the scripts which are contrived for him.

    It is truly a brave new world. He WILL be the President for 4 additional years.

  4. Why would a president that bailed out the auto industry want to destroy it almost 10 years after he would be out of office? That's just not a logical point of view. Even a few thousand per car would more than pay for itself if it cuts your gas consumption in half.

  5. They say the same crud everytime this topic is brought up. Yet every year we see plenty of new models on the road. Cut the crap already.

  7. 120 am, logic is not at work here. Cash for Clunkers cut the salvage business off at the knees, as well as the auto parts makers and whulesalers and retailers. It generated higher price car sales for the tax money collectors. Then after the others recovered, other programs cut our dealers across the nation and left only a limited chosen few, lessening the competiton, raising prices, and hence, that;s right, TAXES. Get it now? It's an incrementally small part of a progressive plan to eat away inch by inch the free markets and freedoms we used to enjoy. And, don't forget, it's "for the children"!
