GM’s outspoken Vice Chairman Bob Lutz told reporters today at the Detroit Auto Show the U.S. government’s 35 mpg CAFE standard will push car prices up by $4,000 to $10,000 per vehicle, or an average $6,000.
By contrast, implementing Bob Zubrin’s flexfuel plan would do much more good, and would cost only about $100 per vehicle. Plus, U.S. auto companies are actually ahead of foreign competitors in flexfuel technology. I’m just sayin’. . . .
