This is my 1999 Corvette, 200 miles into a road trip. And no, this isn't me just cruising on a highway at 70mph for 200 miles straight, it's mixed driving with WOT blasts.
You're exactly correct about CAFE. I don't expect to see any drastic changes with the current models, just a few newer, smaller cars that will get 40-50+ MPG to offset the challengers, camaros, and the like.
