That's the way it looks like to me. Otherwise there would be a real hard time making all models they have for sale get even close to that number. My guess, suvs and trucks don't improve much, but they improve cars or add new models that will offset the lower mileage cars even more to obtain that average.
I just hope this doesn't eventually lead to emissions testing.

Why not? Unless you're working in the automobile industry designing these things (and even then...), I really don't see the harm. More efficient cars = more efficient dollars for me. The two aren't always interlinked, but for automobiles often are.
I also don't see why it would lead to emissions testing.These standards were a long time in coming and a natural progression.
