Why not pass a law mandating they run on water?
When lawyers mandate auto efficiency standards, why not go for the gold.

Even I could design a car that gets 50 mpg. My problem would be getting people to pay the price of a car that’s made of light, but expensive titanium. Steel is much heavier, but much cheaper.
It’s economics, which deals with limits. The envelope can be stretched in one place, but then it contracts in another. The envelope should be defined by the market, but instead, the communist Democrats are distorting the market’s demands with their artificial mileage requirements. We, the market, won’t get the cars we want, instead we’ll get the cars that they, the government, want for us. The Communists in the Soviet Union called it “central planning”. Our Congress is doing the same thing.

I’m assuming this requirement is only for civilian cars. Government cars are excluded.

Designing a car that gets 50 or 60 mpg is no problem.
Designing an entire fleet of compacts, full-size sedans, wagons, “crossovers”, sports cars, SUV’s, and pickup trucks that averages 50 or 60 mpg? There’s your trick.
