What's the 2025 standard ... 54MPG? Yea!

Keep in mind, that 54 MPG isn't what you will see on the sticker. That is an adjusted number, that, I think, the F150 already meets (or is extremely close, and the 10 speed should push it over the threshold).

I hate the EPA too, but I'm just getting the facts out.

If TRUMP get in I hope he cuts funds to the EPA to life support!!!!!!.

All a president can do is request budget stuff. The Congress decides who gets or does not get what. Simple Civics 101.

54mpg is not 4x4 huh?

I don't understand how all this works but I think 54mpg is supposed to be the "fleet average". So that would mean for example (like their current situation as I understand it) that if the 4x4 trucks miss the spec ... large numbers of 2WD models that exceed the spec could save the day.

What that means is Ford will have to sell a lot more high milage cars to counter the F150. They are not going to be able to do that against the like of Toyota and others that dominate the high milage market place. Plus EPA wants light trucks in car fleet category for milage, thinking you are not going to fool EPA by buying a light truck. That means F150 would compete directly in fleet milage standards at the 54mpg number. HS

While the EPA has many problems that need to be corrected, the educated world would not roll back the advances made.

Funny to hear you talk like this. I follow American politics for 4 years now, and my observation is that the bipartisan system does not only apply to politics but also media is bipartisan, and racial supremacism is bipartisan ( KKK vs black panthers)

Then out of several million people, America nominates Hillary Clinton, a person haunted by corruption scandals, careless handling of classified information and causing death by neglect, but for her, the FBI pulls the turd back in. And on the other hand there is Donald Trump, who doesnt think one bit about how his words might sound like, and the media is eager to pull it out of context.

If you compare it to the multi party politics of Europe, where coalitions need to be formed to gain a majority, it seems that media doesnt pick a party because they cannot exclude 70% of other voters from their targeting audience. It seems to work through in many facets of society, making it less bipolar.

But all that happening in the most powerful country in the world, with racial unrest flaming up about every month and a huge national debt that can throw the world economy in an even bigger depression, now the biggest debt owner, China, finds itself in a recession, i find myself somewhat worried, far more than about just EPA....

Ha! If only the sheep here (in the US, not TBN - although there are quite a few here too) could see things as well as you!
