If you don't know if its possible, I don't know why you say congress should require it. Perhaps "look in to it", but calling for requiring something that may be impossible doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

The real issue isn't whether its possible to make cars get higher gas mileage without making them smaller. It is possible to do so. The issue is whether you can get big increases in gas mileage without shrinking cars, making them underpowered, too expensive, or otherwise unacceptable to the buying public. If higher gas mileage was an issue without trade offs it already would have happened.
