According to my master plan for world domination, we'll all be driving
electric cars in 2025 so this is not something that we'll have to worry
about. :-)

They would have to do the obvious. Bypass the comfort, beauty, and power.
I have yet to see dimpling employed, golf ball sized dimples, saves 10%
gas.
Reduce speed. Reduce space. I already get in the high 30's milage on my
2001 cavalier. It's too big and too much power. It could easily get 55 mpg.

I also have an avalanche, products the govt promoted after they stopped
mandatory milage increases to bolster economy years ago.

The perverted thing about plug in electric cars is the energy used
to charge them is somehow not considered in the equation of energy
independence for the USA.

This is brought to you by the same government that has essentially
outlawed screw in incandescent lamps for your home by the end of the year.

We have a nucum power plant surrounded by water here in Nebraska.
Stable source of power i guess....

Its a free country, as long as you tow the line....

Both my 1965 Chevys will be just fine in 2025 (even if I'm gone)

It will be done the way 55mph was achieved. Through government math.
There will be some special ways to measure mpg for at least some models.

It's really the only way other than inflation making CAFE penalties
pocket change.

What do you mean "driving"? "We" won't be driving. That will be for
government people of sufficent rank and the wealthy only.
