[turkeydance]

The new rule, which takes effect in 60 days, applies to vehicle model years 2023 to 2026.

EPA issues new rule to curb tailpipe pollution, fight climate change

The new rule would require 55 miles per gallon of gas.

This is almost like CA’s law on smart guns. Largely impractical and unexecutable, but will serve as a ban.

The automakers will lobby against this since they’re already heavily invested in vehicles for the next few years. They can’t just change on a dime like that.

I don’t see how anyone is going to make a Tahoe or 4Runner that gets 55mpg and clearly that’s where the market is since Ford killed all of their cars.

Cool, that just added $3K to the value of my 300K '05 Yukon.

I think it is a fleetwide average.

I just read the article, you’re correct. They basically reversed Trump’s modifications of Obummer’s CAFE rule. Snooze fest.

so that will be achievable if the include EV - right?

so that will be achievable if the include EV - right?

more than likely since its a fleet wide average

I didn't see it mentioned one way or the other in this article or another I just read.

One approach: with every car purchased you get two of these, free:


Just don't try to actually drive them.

My car could pull off 55mpg if they removed all the emissions crap.

“The Big Three” simply need to make acquisitions. 🤓

One more step in attempting to gain control of America.

Costing us more money while India, ChiCom and the rest pollute all they want.
Paris Accord is a joke, India and ChiCom are developing countries? They have nuclear weapons.

Good bye truck sales. Or maybe they become elitist vehicles.

The trucks are pretty much already there at this point. New non work model trucks are all 40k plus and the used market is whack.

It's good that we're pushing the manufacturers to increase fuel economy, but it would be nice if our government went a bit harder after the commercial polluters who do most of the damage. If I remember correctly cruise ships pollute more than all the cars in the US combined do

Once in international waters they do as they please. No accountability.
