I say just be ready for the new "tests" to skew more against higher mpg cars than lower ones. I don't have faith that most oil/car companies are going to sit idly by and let this go through without some serious lobbying or conducting of "secret energy policy meetings" with the EPA to "help" them develop the testing process.

As it is, a 20% decrease in mpg for a 55mpg car results in 11 mpg less, but the same 20% decrease for an 20mpg truck only results in 4 mpg less. The sticker shock for those shoppers will be less-so than for high mpg car shoppers, whether or not 44mpg is still 2.75 times better than 16.
