I am really glad there are higher mileage requirements. I feel it is this impetus that has pushed the industry forward technologically.

You can get a VW Golf with a 1.8T that gets over 40MPG while delivering 170hp for the cost of around $20k. Volvo's new SUV is going to get mileage in the mid to high thirties with a turbocharged and supercharged four cylinder that puts out 400hp.

I don't see ICE engines going away like the article implies, especially if they can hit mileage and emissions targets like we are starting to see.
