I believe this has been the major response of automakers to the new CAFE standards, which still leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth.

What will it actually take to get the industry to change the way it works? Instead of smaller engines, taller gear, a little bit less pep or fancy pieces of crap, we're going to see new cars that cost more because of all the aluminum, titanium, and whatnot they're being built with...It'll prolly end up in price inflation the same way gas prices explode when a refinery is shut down disproportionate to the actual change in production capability...
