The economy standard was raised gradually through the 70's and 80's but has been stagnant for the last 20 years.
You do realize that if something isn't done to reduce consumption then the day of the gasoline engine will be over all that much quicker, there's not an endless supply out there.
The new standards aren't unrealistic, they are a goal, and most manufacturers should be able to reach that goal without having to kill off their sports cars. If you don't meet the goal you pay a fine, something which Porsche has been doing since the beginning.
