I don’t think it is possible for me to vehemently disagree more. CAFE is a response of lame duck politicians to p-foot around the issue. The issue is American consume too much oil. TAX THE FUEL to curb demand. CAFE puts the burden on manufacturers to get consumers to buy something they don’t want to buy. Change consumers minds instead and they will buy what is good and the manufacturers will get a clear signal in what they need to build. If gas was $4/gal 10 years ago, the automakers would not be up this creek without a paddle.
Governments get too much money as it is I do not think it is wise to give them any more.
