SUVs with 27.5 mpg CAFE?

Here's an extract from Slate's news encapsulation. I wanna know how the SUV will get this kind of mileage.
"The WP fronts, and everybody else stuffs, a congressionally
mandated report from the National Academy of Sciences that
concludes automakers have the technology to make SUVs and
light trucks "significantly more fuel efficient" (the paper's
words) in the next decade. And, say the scientists, although
the upgrade would mean higher sticker prices, fuel savings
would offset the increase. The report also balked at
specifying target fuel efficiency rates, instead advocating
that car companies be able to buy and sell fuel economy
credits among themselves, as power plants trade in emission
credits today. The WSJ says that despite the absence of a
hard mileage increase recommendation, the report will
buttress congressional efforts to increase the standard for
SUVs and light trucks from 20.7 mpg up to 27.5."
