because cars like the LP-640 aren't meant to achieve 36 mpg.

Do some maths, and you'll know why Ferrari isn't even slightly affected at all....
Ferrari = part of Fiat, with Fiat coming into the economy, they can certainly "average" a 35.5mpg by selling loads of Fiat 500 hahaha.
Fleet mileage, not individual car mileage. Selling diesel cars here would help too....like Lupo TDI 3L/100km....

Funny thing. The more fuel-efficient and cleaner-burning we make cars, the worse they are for greenhouse gases.

He will still very much be around.

isn't this more like 35.5mpg average for each manufacturer? So they could have a gas gazzler/high performance car, then have a small Electric car to compensate for it.

With Obama controlling what vehicles auto makers are manufacturing now, can anyone see him release a vehicle similar to the Nazi Beetle?
I hate Hitler references, but the evidence is the writing on the wall. | Writing on the wall?
Hitler committed genocide, Obama's trying to increase fuel efficiency.  | |

It's an average for each manufacturer, for cars built in that year forward.
But anyway, good point. That Beetle sure was a failure. *snicker*

I think they'll have some rating based on the countries electricity production (how much CO2 is produced per kW) or something

It can be a pretty wide margin that will probably be worked out and amended over time. Who knows? Last time I checked a Mustang GT almost achieves these numbers on the Canadian side of things. Rowing through the gears to beat the rush through the Port Mann? Obviously not.
On an unrelated note, if my memory serves me right, a Fortune magazine article from a couple months ago further emphasizes a very challenging future for the established industry. The article presented a Chinese company apparently capable of producing 'fuel efficient' cars at a price of maybe $20,000; some of which was under Warren Buffett's portfolio.
At this moment, the Mercedes Ion-Lithium technology seems capable to do the job.
