UAW president Bob King endorsed the 54.5 MPG CAFE standard for passenger vehicles while testifying at CAFE related hearings in Detroit. Automotive News quoted King as saying “The proposed rules are sensible, achievable and needed.” The standards would have to be met by 2025 and work out to about 40 mpg in the real world.

Good grief, he's the UAW leader. This means: 1. He couldn't pass an elementary mech engineering course. 2. He's a crook. 3. He knows nothing about cars. 4. He (obviously) knows nothing about people who like cars. 5. He's probably never done an honest day's work in his life. 6. He makes roughly 25x the average UAW worker's salary. 7. He doesn't give a smelly Obama about his fellow union members.
Bob King=Elton John lookalike
Considering that union bosses have no one's interests at heart other than their own, it gives one pause to consider how this position is posed to line their already silver coated pockets?
