Why can't very capeable people do what Ford can ....

Remember Nissan (somebody) mentioned CAFE standards may need to be improved.

370Z 18/26 MPG. V6 is 2 MPG better on each end. Hardly the normal V6 vs V8 difference.

I've never made either number in the real world either.

The real world isn't what CAFE cares about. making the Z a 100mpg car won't change the average fuel economy of Nissan motors. Changing the High volume cars a few mpg would make a big difference. All this noise is just show boating to sound good.

Nissan sells like 40k Altimas a month, I think the Z sells well under 500.

I completely agree with you.

CAFE standards are what was mentioned by Nissan so I am intentionally not forgeting this point, even though I'd like too. I like the math as well: 40K vs 500 monthly sales.
