Nor is it meant to. This legislation is only for cars and light trucks (ie consumer vechicles). Commercial vehilces don't have to meet the 55 mpg target.
Also, the 55 mpg is a fleet average. So not every vehicle has to do 55 mpg, there just have to be high-milelage vehicles available to compensate for the lower-mileage ones.
