People only care about fuel efficiency when gas is up over $3 or $3.50 a gallon and can't afford gas for their gas hog.
Remember democrats had the super majority during highish gas prices and their answer to fuel efficiency was to make gas even more expensive by trying to pass carbon cap and tax.
I don't even think the government bothered to raised cafe standards till later on.
So in reality no one cares about your fuel efficiency, doesn't matter if they are democrat, republican, independent, libertarian, socialist, communist, fascist, statist, dictatorship.
