Trump roll back
No surprise there!

Trump TRIES to kill MPG requirements. This will be tied up in litigation longer than Trump is president - whether or not he is re-elected.
His EPA has a very poor track record in the courts because they don’t follow the required protocols required to change regulations. EDIT: Ford, GM, and Ram are selling 2020 full size trucks that meet those “unobtainable 2025 MPG standards. That won’t help the court case nor will the fact that this will cost customers money even by there own numbers. |
The last time they passed a bill with the world "affordable" in the title the price quadrupled.

The flip side is the US consumer doesn't look to be in a good position to be buying new cars in the coming years...but I guess lower prices only helps. |
Why would any consumer want this after we've seen EcoBoost F-150 getting 23 MPG (Hwy) with no mods?

I have never purchased a new car or truck and never will. I did purchase the Saturn because I can flat tow it and it gets better mileage than similarly sized Fords.

(standing outside the truck leaving it idle)"I could listen to that rumble all day!" etc. etc. I still like my v8 van. Not as a commuter just as a toy to go cruising in. I only cruise in it because of my awareness of fuel economy and other things we talk about on this forum. It doesn't make sense to drive it every day. Most people don't seem to care about any other aspect of driving it (other than having to buy 8 sparkplugs!) and only complain about the cost of gas. |

And I think the same model year still gets 23 MPG HWY but lower than the EcoBoost in town. |
