I found the siting I thought I remembered.Under the Alternate Fuels Act of 1988,the EPA gives car makers a CAFE rating of 200-400 MPG for EVs.---------------------- Ford Motor Co. sold EVERY Escort at a "loss" to subsidize the sale of Town Cars,Grand Marquis,and Crown Victorias,due to the effects of CAFE by the 42MPG Escort.Can you imagine what 200-400 MPG would do to a car makers fleet economy?
