There's no way in hell that vehicles should be getting 37 MPG in 2020. That number should be doubled or tripled. We need vehicles that get 95 - 100 MPG or more. We definitely aren't making enough of a push to get people to buy fuel efficient or electric vehicles. And electric trucks definitely can't come soon enough either. The sooner we replace the gas guzzlers the better.
