Zero pity for car dealers and that’s not even including my “market adjustment”.

I pity the car dealers and car manufacturers. The Dims are making it hard to make a living making ICE cars.

One of the most contrived examples is the fake metric MPGe. For example, according to the federal govt my EV gets 114 MPGe combined city/hwy. So the car makers making EV's get to average that sky high fake 114 MPG into their fleet average to meet the CAFE standards.

I'm not slamming EV's from a free market perspective. Our EV car meets our needs and wants and saves us tons of gas (we drive a lot of miles, a necessary characteristic to make owning an EV worth it in the end). We also like our ICE pickup for what it brings to the table. But I have a real problem with the government twisting every regulation imaginable to force EV's onto people who have no need for them.

I had “zero pity” for the car dealer I bought my last new car from 2 1/2 years ago. I got such a great deal that the car is still worth what I paid for it.

That’s the first time THAT ever happened.
