6. It will happen as fuel becomes more expensive.
In 1981, the price of gasoline averaged about $3/gal, in 2005 dollars. So, we aren't actually quite up to the price levels that were pesent when CAFE was created.

I think we'll see these ideas become fashionable again. It's a shame that the only way most people are motivated to conserve is when a resource becomes expensive.
