...New vehicles purchased (click here) in November of 2012 got 24.1 miles per gallon, on average. That includes all new cars, SUVs, and light trucks. By contrast, new vehicles averaged just 20.1 miles per gallon average back in the fall of 2007....
...This trend is likely to continue. The Obama administration has already set strict new fuel-economy standards for cars and light trucks, which are expected to average around 35.4 miles per gallon by 2025. Indeed, this is one big reason why U.S. oil imports have been shrinking — along with increased domestic oil production — and it's why imports are projected to keep shriveling in the decades ahead....
I am not even approaching radical thinking. It is the work of the American people that has brought about real change in the way the nation views energy. More and more electricity is becoming part of our day to day reality for our energy needs. So, what is this all about anyway? Why produce American hydrocarbons? Why import garbage oil from Canada? Why endanger the Nebraska aquifer at all?
