2012 Buick Regal eAssist will get 26/37 mpg

I can't see that this has been mentioned here before:

Most significantly, the addition of eAssist to the Regal's 2.4-liter inline-four powertrain means that the sedan is now capable of achieving 26 miles per gallon in the city and 37 mpg on the highway. Like the LaCrosse, the Regal eAssist uses a small, 15-horsepower electric motor to give assistance during acceleration, and when combined with things like regenerative braking and automatic start/stop, it means a substantial increase in fuel economy.

Buick is going to blow right by the 2016 CAFE requirements by 2012.

Cool, but I bet it is a pretty boring car to drive although no engines are really available for this car that are worth bragging about to begin with.
