    USA wants cars make 39MPG or more (~6.2L/100km or less) by 2016

    There is some motion regarding efficiency going on in the US car industry, coming from a couple states and now Obama adminstration itself: 30% reduction of gasoline usage is a start. The US administration under Obama wants to make it a federal law and start a phase-in process starting 2011 already.

    Hoping investment capital flows into more efficient vehicles and stire up the market and innovation which has been stagnant for way too long.
