"The administration estimated the requirements would cost up to $1,300 per new vehicle by 2016 - but that it would take just three years to pay off that investment"
Huh? W'ah? Um, I think if people don't feel that $1,300 on top of the price of the car is worth it, they just won't buy new cars and the auto companies won't be paying off that investment.
@LoganSix: Exactly why CAFE is a failure. It tries to force the carmakers to build cars that Congress -- not consumers in general -- want. If our government was really serious about this they would raise the gas tax*. However, this is considered political suicide, particularly at this time. Instead, they make the cowardly and politically expedient move of putting the onus on the car companies to ensure their sales meet some arbitrary average fuel economy regardless of what people will actually buy.
*I don't support this, however if reducing fuel usage in this country is the goal, this is the way to do it.
Good God, why was this necessary? These stupid photo-ops are a waste of everyone's time. Especially when it's NASCAR.
Obama's bigger PR crime was throwing that girly pitch at the All Star Game, and then going up into the broadcast booth to tell Joe Buck how much he likes watching the White Sox at "Cominskey Field."
Of course, who can forget Nixon with Elvis or the Reagans with Michael Jackson? Hell, come to think of it, wasn't Nixon on Laugh-In? I don't care who's in office, stop getting your picture taken with "athletes" and celebrities, and do your freaking job.

@FromaBuick6 Misses the Banned: You're right. They should always be operating from a secure, undisclosed location. Most likely a Whataburger in Van Nuys.

Britain gets two things right: car purchases (usually) and traffic lights. I love that yellow-before-green thing.

Well done.
