Apparently over 26 years - not even the life of an automoblie. Based on Brand spanky new "regulations" that force the auto makers to somehow develop technology that averages 55 mpg - which is basically a money loss when you factor in the cost of this "technology" being bundled into the price of a new vehicle, along the cost of reformulated fuels that they will need to run on (cars don't just magically double in efficiency - Big Oil will need to completely retool all of their refineries - guess who pays for that)... This guy either has no clue what he is talking about, or is a pathological swindler in the back pocket of the auto industry. You guess which one.
