Fuel efficiency standards set the required average fuel economy for vehicles, aiming to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Proponents argue that it helps reduce emissions, save consumers money on fuel, and decrease reliance on fossil fuels. Opponents argue that it raises production costs, leading to higher vehicle prices, and may not have a significant impact on overall emissions.

Instead of imposing penalties they should provide incentives for companies that make fuel efficient/alternative fuel vehicles.
@9QR8JKT8mos8MO
The government should incentivize fuel alternatives and impose stricter standards for fuel distributors.
@9SSSZ3Q6mos6MO
Yes, and invest in high speed rail and public transportation so there is less reliance on personal vehicles.
@9SH6CVS6mos6MO
Yes, the government should impose stricter fuel efficiency standards. Auto manufacturers will eventually catch up to the restrictions and produce better performing cars.
@9SN7NSG6mos6MO
I think people with older vehicles should not be botherd but new cars that are being made should have stricter fuel efficiency standards on them.
@9RVY2YN7mos7MO
No, because the U.S has historically done a poor job of setting fuel efficiency and environmental standards as compared to the Europe, Japan, South Korea and many others - the system needs to be better not stricter. This only offers to further increase the cost of affordable economy vehicles due to increasing manufacturer requirements, and furthermore will hurt the enthusiast market. Instead, better incentives should be offered to Hybrid, EV & Hydrogen vehicles.
@9YLTPPK4mos4MO
Yes, as in create an eco-friendly fuel standard to stop climate change and encourage creativity in making an environmentally beneficial fuel
@9WQWRP34mos4MO
There should be incentives for developing new or more efficient technology, example combustion engines use only about 10% of energy to move the vehicle, if a better system can use 50% that would reduce fuel use by 5x, etc. innovation is key
