U.S. Orders Stricter Fuel Goals for Autos - WSJ.com

Wonder why almost every manufacturer is switching engine architecture or touting smaller, lighter-weight cars within the next few years? It has something to do with the average MPG of the whole manufacter's line up

We can expect:

Turbos
Smaller displacement engines
Direct Injection
More Hybrids (think CRZ)

********************
Think about it:

Mazda SkyActiv
Honda EarthDreams
Nissan PureDrive
