the real effect that i see this having is making v8s more powerful but more expensive and much less common
a 300 hp v8 will never be seen again, there are more efficient and less costly ways of making that hp and tq
v8s will be 450+ hp and much less common than they are today by the time 2020 rolls around. this will limit the MPG effect of these powerful engines but still make them available for those willing to pay for the power
expect to see legitimate performance v6 pony cars with 300+ hp to take up the slack and help satisify the volume performance market
im personally hoping for large displacement DI turbo 4 cyl engines to become the go to performance engine.
