What happens when they they make the CAFE rules do arbitrarily high that nothing but 4 bangers and hybrids can do it?

I think that's what they ( the govt) is after.
Ah, but then consider a 2014 Mustang GT is over 400 HP now.

It's just progress. V8s will keep getting more and more powerful and so will smaller engines. 10 years from now, a GT might be hitting 500 HP and doing 30 MPG for all we know.

And hybrids aren't always a bad thing. Case in point:
