22 MPG Combined?

by

The time to retire old paint might be just around the corner. If your old car is rated at 18 miles per gallon (MPG) or less, you might be eligible to receive up to $4500 towards the purchase of a new (and perhaps only slightly) more fuel efficient car. To be eligible for the new Cash for Clunkers program as proposed by the House of Representatives, new cars must be rated at a minimum of just 22 miles per gallon (MPG) combined.

What’s next … members of Congress appearing on car commercials?

1 thought on “22 MPG Combined?”
