  Raising efficiency standards will obviously cost money, that’s no excuse to keep standards low/cheap.

    I expect it’s at the behest of the oil industry anyway, gotta keep consumption as high as possible.

    Brought to you by my conspiracy theory, which seems very plausible given oil companies’ history.

  What will it matter when a small car is now a fucking Dodge RAM?

  Typical media hit job ignoring the point being made.

  That model being discontinued doesn’t change or even dispute the fact that the updated fuel efficiency standard would raise car prices. What’s worse, and why more and more people are ignoring the mainstream media, is that they don’t even try to address the actual point.
