Considering average gas mileages have only gone from 23.1 in 1980 to 24.7 in 1994, I think 35.5 is a pretty decent goal to set. Automakers spend 2-3 years performing R&D for new models. This gives them about 6 years to develop the technology needed to increase gas mileage by about 50%.
While I was hoping for at least 40MPG, I'm glad Obama at least pulled the trigger on an issue Bush refused to address.
