I think CAFE has done a lot of good. Let's go back 30 years to the time where a Caddy V8 would put out 180hp and get 15 mpg. Today, a 2 liter BMW 328 puts out 240 hp and gets 36 mpg on the highway. Sure the engine might require a little more maintenance over the course of its life, but gas savings more than offset it.
You can also say the same thing about the Ford Eco-tec, whatever. People can be nostalgic over V8s, but when you can get better performing engines that are more fuel efficient, give me that!
