...CAFE numbers don't reflect reality, by raising the standard to 35 m.p.g., it mandates a relative increase in fuel economy of about 40%. But the government's double bookkeeping still matters - especially with the NHTSA set to issue final regulations that will help guide automakers to meet the new standard. An EPA analysis from September shows that the 35-m.p.g. CAFE standard will translate to 27 to 28 m.p.g. under real-world conditions - about the same fuel efficiency that the current CAFE standard purports to enforce. "The program is undermined and the public confidence in policymakers is undermined," says...
...CAFE standard is the average annual fuel efficiency for a manufacturer's entire fleet; automakers have to meet that standard or pay a fine.

John DeCicco, the automotive expert for the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), estimates that in actual driving, the current measured CAFE standard, for cars, is closer to 22 m.p.g, and, for trucks, closer to 18 m.p.g.

But Purcell says he enjoyed campaigning because he had the opportunity to meet fellow Nashville residents and see the optimism they had for change...
...Chen avoided controversy in the quick meeting by not using titles - China refers to Ma as "Taiwan's leader" and Taiwan says he's president. They affirmed the Nov. 4 trade pacts will take effect in 40 days, including an expansion of direct cross-strait flights, direct shipping and postal links, and increased cooperation on food safety in the wake of the recent melamine contaminations. Roughly five million Taiwanese travel to China each year, and the agreements are expected to reduce travel time and costs. Ma and Chen also agreed to meet once every six months and find ways...
