Issa: Obama strong-armed auto companies
Now comes the claim that President Obama basically strong-armed automakers into providing more fuel-efficient vehicles. California Congressman Darrell Issa, (R-Calif), no stranger to headline-making charges, says Emperor Obama and his ‘czars” had defenseless General Motors and Chrysler by the throat and used that grip to squeeze the fuel efficiency concessions out of them.

Determining a CAFE Standard: How is a manufacturer’s CAFE determined for a given model year?
A manufacturer’s CAFE is the fleet-wide average fuel economy, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Separate CAFE calculations are made for up to three potential fleets: domestic passenger cars, imported passenger cars, and light trucks. The averaging method used is referred to as a “harmonic mean.” The regulatory language describes the calculation […]

More Here = Less There
This calculation is so simple that even I, who is severely math-challenged, can do it.  If the fuel tax remains the same but the amount of fuel used goes down, less money is generated. The White House says: On Tuesday, August 9, the President will travel to Interstate Moving Services in Springfield, Virginia, to announce […]
