I know Maybach, Ferrari, Lamborgini and many other european companies were lobbying for this. Of course all of those cars bring luxury tax dollars so I am sure that is one of the more compelling reasons. I am sure BME will do more over the years to get better economy but my car gets 28 mpg on the freeway, seems like expecting much more is silly. I am not totally convinced that these CAFE standards will be fully implemented.
