I think what a lot of people don't realize is that CAFE and EPA standards are also written to benefit the existing big players. It's the same with vehicle safety standards. It's called regulatory capture - a government agency that is supposed to oversee some certain segment of industry winds up getting staffed with people from that industry, for the price of greasing some palm or other of some elected critter.
