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.

@B4NLPGL1mo1MO
No. I would like to see greater investment into high speed rails and public transportation and for there to be incentives instead of penalties to create fuel alternatives.
@B3TLRSZ2mos2MO
Yes, but on vehicles already being built or in the process to be made since those can be changed; but there should be no increase of price in vehicles or production.
Yes, but at a gradual rate. I don't want them to immediately start switching to a country that was essentially built on industrial manufactures. Overtime, they slowly promote these fuel efficiency methods.
@B2HTR524mos4MO
As long as someone owns a car, they should be allowed to use the fuel however they please. Although there should be caps on how much fuel they're allowed to purchase per person.
@B2GBZC54mos4MO
They should innovate and give more efficient options without forcing people to buy what they don’t want. Offer incentives.
@B2BGS2S5mos5MO
Yes, and get rid of the loophole of making vehicles (like trucks) larger in order to avoid this standard.
@9ZWTQ8X6mos6MO
Yes, but only when we find an effective solution to this. Fossil fuels are the best for now, but the earth is at risk because of this,
@9YMJRSN7mos7MO
To a certain degree perhaps, but the people should have the freedom to choose what vehicle they want
There should be more effective advertising from it(preferably inspired from the past advertisements as they were more effective).
Yes, but only at the rate of which they develop the alternative fuel and energy sources that can support the alternate fuel efficiency standard on vehicles
It should only be down if proven that costs to consumers won't rise. I think it should be the government that works and finds a religion for this type of issues and then shares it with manufacturers, or to work within a partnership with car companies or at least fund the car companies to come up with such resolutions for fuel efficiency. Because electrical car is also cause other issues like what to do with their batteries, Etc. I don't think it's fair for a car company to have to take on the cost for the benefit of the government. Also there's no way that the car company will take on the cost and not pass it along to the consumer no matter what is said or promised. If they're (the car company) is paying for it, we (the consumers) will be paying for it. Costs will definitely be passed along.
@9WF47VH7mos7MO
Yes and it should increase urban planning to include more housing near business centers as well as having safe, reliable, and efficient mass transit.
No, instead of imposing a stricter fuel standard. The government should discourage the creation of cars with high fuel consumption and research a new method of creating electric based vehicles with reduced production & emission costs.
@9T4LNYP 9mos9MO
The government needs to focus on infrastructure for electric vehicles and the electric grid before imposing legislation on vehicles.
@9SZ2TY99mos9MO
I have mixed feelings because its kind of a competition, gas or electricity prices will and would go out of range and not a lot of people want or don't want that
@9SQYJ239mos9MO
Fuel efficiency standards should be stricter for personal vehicles, but not for public vehicles (or vehicles owned by businesses).
@9S8DYNY9mos9MO
Make the corporations pay the price, funded by the U.S government instead of leading to higher vehicle prices instead of the consumer.
@9S7P3V4Libertarian9mos9MO
Yes, as the production costs can be dealt with by lowering the salaries of the corporate higher-ups, so that the prices don't need to drastically increase.
@9S7LT399mos9MO
Our government should protect our air..water..food.. people...and always do what is best for all.
@9RHRJ6ZIndependent10mos10MO
higher tax rates for companies that produce low fuel efficiency vehicles and higher taxes for the purchasers
@9QZTHPM10mos10MO
No. Maintaining an older car is much more economical and environmentally friendly than buying into the commercialism for newer cars (especially EV's). There is also dramatic production emissions seen from both the building of new cars as well as the "recycling" process to retire older cars. Not to mention taxation and highway fines on minimum viable fuel efficiency for transit -- this is the silliest rule as it goes after low-income households that cannot upgrade their vehicles, and while the industrial process to make and recycle older cars is orders of magnitude higher in emissions than just maintaining and driving the car.
@9PWST4N11mos11MO
Only on newer vehicles. Keep classic cars grandfathered into the same fuel efficiency standards for that year, make and model of vehicle.
@9ZBWDDX7mos7MO
I think there should be incentives to stimulate good engineering for more fuel efficient cars. That and the free market should decide.
There are pros and cons for if the government imposes stricter fuel efficiency standards on vehicles. The pros is that it can reduce emissions, reduce costs on fuel, and decrease reliance on fossil fuels. However, the con is that raises costs which would lead to many vehicles being expensive and won't be important on overall emissions.
@9V7CRPLRepublican8mos8MO
nah man dont make me get rid of MY property because you want more efficiency, i want to lower inflation and keep my Vehicles
@9TZKWGF8mos8MO
I believe that the vehicle situation is wrong with prices but right now they are in a somewhat good situation
@9T7FL8W9mos9MO
The government should improve fuel efficiency and improve public transport safety and efficiency, to tackle rising personal vehicle prices.
@9RTWKJN 10mos10MO
No. The goverment should incentivize companies for making and offering better feul fuel efficiency. Also add customer incentives for owning/buying fuel efficient vehicles. But shouldn't mandate anything yet.
@9RS3H5F10mos10MO
Yes, but not so severe that individuals are priced out. We can’t have everyone go electric all at once
@9R58CQ610mos10MO
Yes, but government should invest in more public transportation infrastructures and make public transportation safer.
@9SC3WYV9mos9MO
Yes but they should make electric cars more affordable and excessible so it's a better option to have clean cars instead of gas cars
@9SBTCQ49mos9MO
The government should impose stricter emission restrictions on corporations and the general industry rather than vehicles.
@9RPY53P10mos10MO
The government should exempt or significantly reduce registration fees and sales taxes for fuel-efficient vehicles.
@B3G629R3mos3MO
All companies making money from fossil fuels should be dismantled and the profits given to the people. We should only be allowed bicycles and horses.
@9V3SS6Y8mos8MO
Find a way to improve fuel efficiency which is better for prices and the environment, then impose stricter standards.
@9V99L998mos8MO
Yes and No, yes for climate, no for those who have no alternative energy source and depend on it, while not having enough money to get by.
