“cut Americans’ trips to the gas station and reduce unhealthy, climate-changing tailpipe emissions.”
Nope, no media bias there!
I want little pickups back.
But don't worry, Democrat voters - they've still got strong weapons against leprechauns and unicorns. :)
“...weaken one of the federal government’s chief weapons against climate change...”
Idiots are at war with nature.
Sue on WHAT basis? Ridiculous.

Dumb and dumber?
I do think we'll finally see significant improvements in electric automobiles once dry-electrode lithium-ion batteries enter production on a large scale and everyone agrees on a single standard for electric car charging in terms of connectors and voltages. In short, an improved SAE J1772 Combined Charging System (CCS) connector that can handle higher DC voltages so it can replace the Tesla proprietary Supercharger connector.
Ignoring #FakeScience is another Trump plus!
MAGA
CAFE Standards is why most of us can’t afford a real car.
Trump is going to rest the odometers?
Trump is going to reset the odometers?
If you get away from the CAFE standards, the automakers won’t have to build the little shitboxes nobody wants.
Cut back on government charges to citizens?
Blasphemy!
Trump is right!
CAFE kills. Screw mpg, I want a lot of metal around my family and me.
BTW, the number one killer on the highways is inert objects (trees, bridge abuttments, jersey walls, ditches, etc.). If you are in a plastic subcompact, I dont like your chances.
I drove a 2018 Chevy Cruze across the country these past two weeks.
I topped out at 60mpg, averaged 40 and it’s 0-60 time could rival my 1984 Subaru wagon.
1.4 liter turbo, still available with a manual.
But seriously, to get the emissions and mpg standards it shuts off the engine at stop lights. And then it shakes to life with a very disturbing shudder. It bucks. It was an auto transmission and IT BUCKS. But it’s a 6 speed CVT. Also, it eats all 6 gears before 40mph with the pedal mostly floored.
And floor it you must. The car was like driving with the e-brake on. But the engine has less displacement than my 86 CRX which also got about 50mpg but with less than half the weight.
Now GM and Ford both say they are stopping production and sales of “cars” in the US. Switching over to icon-only cars and SUV/trucks.

Want better gas mileage...get rid of ethanol.
Why not sue to drop ethanol?
