Fbodfather, I generally agree with the frustration with CAFE. I'm against it too. However, the 35 mpg in CAFE is not the same 35 mpg on window stickers. That makes it not quite as bad. It still goes about it completely the wrong way, as Lutz said. And as a California native I would like to sincerely apologize for the stupidity that comes out of this state. Be thankful only a few of those stupid things like emissions laws have escaped out to the rest of the U.S. Enjoy your freedom and relatively low-tax lifestyles before we change that for you too. Again, sorry. One more thing - it really seems silly that the Aveo gets lower MPGs than the Cobalt. That thing is pretty sad. The Fit is pretty nice and the Fiesta looks desirable. The next Aveo is really going to have to be an insane leap forward.
