Somewhere in the background noise while I was working this afternoon I heard a "reporter" talking about this and she said "and we all know how Trump feels about climate control" (sic).

My question is whether the standards under hussein were achievable in the first place or were they more feel good regulations. Barry knew he would be out of office and it would be on future administrations to resolve noncompliance.

Sorry, but, I’m all in favor of improved mileage for cars. I want 50 miles per gallon! Oil is valuable. Efficiency standards have led to some very good improvements in the auto fleet.

Heh. Then bring back the VW diesel fleet. Had a Passat that legitimately got 43 mpg overall, and 51 on trips. If they had it in AWD I would never have gotten rid of it.

I do as well. I'm confident that more fuel efficient technology exists and that cars could easily double/triple their gas mileage. Powerful interests keep that from happening. That doesn't mean I want less efficient and environmentally equally destructive or worse tech to take its place.

Oil is valuable.

Sure about that?



I do generally agree with you though. Why wouldn't I want a car that gets 50 MPG?

I just dont think it should take government mandates to get there.

 

[meketrefe]

stupid thing to do. This doesn't benefit anyone, only the oil moguls.

Yeah man! I have an 02 golf TDI with pretty much every mod possible...she really scoots AND gets 53 mpg. Much more torque than traction.

You have always been free to buy as efficient a car as you want.

What these laws do is tell the rest of us that we aren't allowed to buy cars unless they are efficient enough.

It's my money, if I want a car that gets 2 MPG I should be able to buy it.
