cars will be more expensive because fuel prices will probably be double of what it is now... so the cost of 54mpg is probably going to be same as the cost of 25-30mpg today.
i dont think anyone should trust governments math... the savings are probably comparing to todays standards IF the fuel price(s) stay the same in 2025. i mean thats 13-14 yrs from now... just look back what the fuel prices were 13-14yrs ago, are you really saving money today compared to 1997?
my 98 trans am got 23mpg hwy at $1.08 a gallon while my 2008 328i getting 28mpg hwy at $3.25 a gallon... so does 5mpg offset the $1-2 dollar (factoring inflation) difference im paying per gallon?
i think the saving they mention are marketing gimmick because they know that people wont buy it at higher prices, also know they cant build cars at todays prices due to shortage in materials and various kinds of natural resources.
