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.

They should add a stricter fuel efficiency standards based on the amount of cylinders of an engine, and what the car is intended to do.
@9YBHXL2Peace and Freedom7mos7MO
i say somewhat yes and somewhat no its should only apply on different vehicles like a truck paying 40 and a car paying 30 or 20.
@9XY3LYXRepublican7mos7MO
catalytic converters are gay as well as efficiency standards just make gas cheaper then it don't matter
@9XW6JDT7mos7MO
no they should lower the gas prices before nobody drives a car then everyone rides horses for then on because them gas prices be too high
@9XVH2M47mos7MO
This would be very difficult to do because it would probably include taking cars away from people that don't fit the standards.
@9XJSZN57mos7MO
No, in fact, they are already too high. Cars shutting off instead of idling is absolutely horrible for engines. This regulation needs to GO.
@KoenigLibertarian 7mos7MO
Yes, but restructure fuel economy standards so manufacturers in the U.S. aren't encouraged to sell larger cars to get looser standards
@9WNXQCV7mos7MO
you should not gain benefits for driving an electric vehicle. Gas powered vehicles should not be discontinue. Farming lithium for the batteries is just as bad as farming for gas
@9WCXZKY7mos7MO
That's if people want more fuel effient cars not even wants or needs that It's different if someone is using to drive to work or something but if it's a work truck or someone uses it to haul they should be able to have all the power they need and putting all the electronic and motor restrictions isn't any better especialy with electric battery cars the acid in the batteries isn't good for the enviornment either
@9W3H2ZQ7mos7MO
For personal transportation such as vans and trucks, fuel efficiency standards should be pushed so citizens do not have to pay as much yearly for gas.
@9VSDGG3Independent7mos7MO
It's a controversy one, I think better fuel efficient cars should be built and designed, but to impose on people personal vehicles that are older and may get worse mileage. I think they should interfere with eh car companies building and designing the next line of cars.
@9TV7KGG8mos8MO
No, if everything is electric, the lithium quarries make the same amount of pollution, probably more pollution, than someone driving there gas or diesel vehicle for work.
@9TMHS258mos8MO
I dont think they should because of all the semi trucks that are needed and people needing to transport them selfs from there dream car or a car that is not fuel efficiency
@9TF3MJQ8mos8MO
If its safe for the environment and gets people where they need to be safely I think the government should impose stricter fuel standards.
@9TC2L5Q8mos8MO
Going forward, new vehicles should have stricter fuel efficiency standards, excluding older/released vehicles from these standards.
@9T95YQ58mos8MO
I think we should use electric vehicles for the public and any construction or heavy duty work should only be gas civilians don't need it
@9T5T32Y9mos9MO
I think it's a complex issue with valid arguments on both sides. On the one hand, stricter fuel efficiency standards could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and decrease our dependence on fossil fuels. On the other hand, it could also lead to higher vehicle costs for consumers and potential job losses in the auto industry. It's important to consider the long-term environmental benefits against the potential economic impact and make an informed decision.
@9T434NZ9mos9MO
No, nut they should allow cars from other countries in so the market determines which way our companies will compete.
@9SMTZFBLibertarian9mos9MO
I believe the government should continue to explore options and conduct research on getting away from oil. However, the government should also consider the impact to citizens and businesses.
@9SFGB8SRepublican 9mos9MO
The government should not be the deciding factor, but it should be encouraged to make more fuel efficient vehicles.
@9SF4W4L9mos9MO
There should be an outreach to find better ways to use fuel but there should not currently be a stricter standard on their laws
@9RJG2P510mos10MO
Yes to an extent but only for unlawful citizens that misuse let’s say for example straightpiping a vehicle or having no converters that’s against emission laws and they should be fined
@8TTL2MVIndependent 10mos10MO
No, only on commercial vehicles and reform the way we do fuel efficiency standards so that bigger does not equal better
@9DP92CX 11mos11MO
Car manufacturers will find a way around this like they did before with SUVs.
@9P9GDNJ11mos11MO
No, but provide financial incentives for companies to increase fuel efficiency
@ChivalKnightConstitution 11mos11MO
No, the free market should dictate if cars become more fuel-efficient.
