Obama raises mileage standard to 35.5 mpg

[MadBurgerMaker]

welcome to the 1980s guys 

I'm looking, but I can't locate new episodes of The A-Team, Miami Vice, Magnum PI, or Airwolf on TV. 

Edit:  MacGuyver too.  The new 80's suck.

Interesting... seems like a hybrid type vehicle. Even 33 mpg for a large vehicle in hybrid mode is pretty darn good. Can be run on the battery for about 40 miles, hence the 100mpg claim.

Electric Hummer gets 100 mpg — more or less
Capitol Hill event raises its profile; critic says 33 mpg is closer to reality

A Hummer that gets the equivalent of 100 miles per gallon or more? That's something even President Barack Obama could live with — not to mention California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the unquestioned celebrity champion for Hummers.

A company that says it's done just that — running the full-size SUV on batteries — is showing off its Electric Hummer H3 on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. But whether it really gets 100 mpg depends on just how far and hard it's driven.

The four-wheel drive vehicle with a top speed of 100 mph has been put together by Raser Technologies, a Utah company that until recently had focused on developing geothermal energy sources. It's timing is impeccable, just a day after Obama unveiled a program to raise vehicle fuel efficiency, and cut greenhouse gas emissions, by 30 percent.

No, not really 

Death solves all problems.  No man, no problem.

My car gets 20 rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it!

That's a couple hundred yards on a beer keg of gas.
