Lemme guess, "BrEAThinG is wOKe!!"?

so us manufacturers will increasingly make vehicles unsellable on the world market. gotcha.

Cuz nothing says, "lower gas prices" than increased fuel consumption!

burn on big planet burn on

Let's make destroying lives profitable again?

Somewhere Jeremy Clarkson is smiling

Just a hunch but I'm thinking higher gas prices will create a demand for fuel efficient cars

They genuinely make policy based on whatever is going to "own the libs"

The US might be a kakistocracy, or a idiocracy. Maybe a pedocracy. Probably a bad mix of the worst though.

That might (probably won't but I can be hopeful) lead to less SUVs because the manufacturer can reasonably hit the milage requirements of cars.

It's not like it will change much, with the war going on skyrocketing the fuel price

"(increase) fuel spending by $185 billion", disincentives electric cars. It's wrapped up like it's a good thing, but that's a red herring.

oil barons getting what they paid for.

I am not really sure what it means. The CAFE standards we had encouraged larger, less fuel efficient vehicles and discouraged smaller, more efficient ones.

While I wanna shout at the headline, fuel economy standards are something we need to revisit anyway.

Just what nobody wanted or needed!

Because GOP doesnt give a shit about the environment, especially when profits can be increased

Most americans don't pay attention, but it's just insane.

Unfortunately, the U.S. car norms influence Canada. Because Canadian officials copy american car norms. It's the reason why they drive the heaviest and least efficient cars in the world

US speed running to idiocracy.
