I think it's another bailout for the auto industry, just labeled as being "green" for PR. I guess if they were going to do it, though, it is good to motivate for somewhat higher MPGs, and you have to compromise somewhere.

I am kicking myself though, my wife wants a NEW car with high MPGs and I sold my '91 Ford F150 (14 mpg) last year for $700 to buy the escort. Arrrrgh!
