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.

No, people should be able to have a vehicles that consumes more fuel than others but this doesn't mean they shouldn't be taxed more for this choice from environmental concerns of course
@9YKFDB311mos11MO
If accommodations for travel and work purposes are made to acquire transportation or infrastructure is changed entirely in the us.
@9Y4BP55Women’s Equality11mos11MO
Yes, but have better help because vehicles are more expensive. Or regulate the prices of vehicles based on year and mileage.
@9XSQRKP11mos11MO
No, strict laws have removed the viability of several practical vehicle types such as small trucks. What we need are more -effective- efficiency standards.
@MiataRacer28 11mos11MO
Yes, daily personal commuter cars should have a stricter fuel efficiency standard to uphold. High performance vehicles should not be subject to this standard.
@9X7FBNCPeace and Freedom11mos11MO
No gas has already been a problem for many in this generation fossil fuel many costs of it its been strict as its been.
@9WP7CYX12mos12MO
For industrial machines and vehicles that produce the most pollution, but not (as much so) for consumer vehicles
@9WKGT5TProgressive12mos12MO
Vehicles manufacturers should be required to meet stricter standards going forward. We should not penalize current car owners.
@9WF47VH12mos12MO
Yes and it should increase urban planning to include more housing near business centers as well as having safe, reliable, and efficient mass transit.
@9VPF6DV12mos12MO
There should be a a set price for fuel driving car but also more production of hybrid cars and electric cars
@9VH9Z8T1yr1Y
The government should close the "Light Truck Loophole" to help shrink American cars and ensure that more cars on the road meet CURRENT EPA standards before continuing to impose stricter standards.
@9V5WC941yr1Y
By not allowing electric cars to be advertised if there are 50% discounts upon purchasing them cause they are expensive as hell.
@9V4CCNF 1yr1Y
Yes, but make public transportation more functional so it doesn't negatively impact lower-income individuals
@9TTFL3V1yr1Y
Yes, but only for vehicles newer than a certain year to avoid punishing people who cannot afford a new vehicle.
@9TRRGGW1yr1Y
They should work with car manufacturers to improve quality and performance with fuel efficiency being a benefit from a strategy
@9TQZ7CS1yr1Y
While moving toward fuel-efficient vehicles may be a short term solution, powering these vehicles requires neo-colonialism - stealing resources (and therefore wealth) from other countries and forcing their populations to work for unlivable wages to the benefit of only the imperial core.
@9TPR6JC1yr1Y
Private jets and government machines and military should be lookednar before the individual vehicle. And there should be an avenue to fix your car for cheaper for emissions purposes.
@9TGS64C1yr1Y
I think that the government should incentivize it, and slowly make some legal regulations against the most environmentally unfriendly fuels
@9TB9NNF1yr1Y
Regulations around vehicles classified as Light Trucks needs to become stricter. Fuel efficiency standards on sedans and compact cars are fine where they are.
They need to fix their current fuel efficiency standards. Trucks keep getting bigger. Fix them to allow for small size trucks again
@9RGVYGHIndependent1yr1Y
Yes but this should not affect the cost of the vehicle. Just because the vehicle has more fuel efficiency it shouldn't be more expensive.
@9R334RG1yr1Y
Yes, but not in a way that places the burden on low-income individuals and families who cannot afford newer, more fuel-efficient vehicles
I believe they should however not if it's going to make it impossible for people who can't afford to have their cars meet these fuel efficiency standards be able to drive
I need more information from both Sides To Make a Decision. What is considered a Significant enough Impact to Cause concern?
I believe that cars that need fuel are harmful to the environment and we need to focus on making more electric vehicles available and affordable and ones that won’t cause you to feel sick and sleepy
@9T68FJZ1yr1Y
They need to look at overall environmental impact of vehicles because batteries take a lot of resources and manufacturing them puts out a ton of emissions. They also need to not try to bandaid cars and look at actual solutions.
@9SSFYKX1yr1Y
Only for new models of vehicles - drivers should not be punished for driving an old car if that is all they can afford.
@9SNKCSY1yr1Y
Making sure there is equitable transition to fuel efficient options, not targeting lower income populations
Yes but only if they are willing to give stipends or assistance to the lower class to aid them in purchasing more fuel efficient vehicles because they tend to be much more expensive.
@9R8572H1yr1Y
Public transit and investment in that and infrastructure that supports it will do more good than more investment in individual transportation like cars.
@9R825XJ1yr1Y
Yes, and loosen regulations on small cars, and get rid of the small truck loophole that allows SUVs to be dominant
Not on individual consumer vehicles but rather corporations.
