EPA officials made statements that Americans will be able to buy the kind of cars they want after these regulations went into effect. The purpose of the 2018 review was to see if there were either technical or economic problems with meeting the regulations. In the article the EPA recognized the 54.5 MPG goal could not be met because the mix of vehicles would not allow it. That assumes each size class of vehicle met it's class goal, which is very high.
Clearly, the EPA lied to the American public and does not care if pickup truck and large SUV availability must be rationed by high prices or other means. The deal inherent in the 2018 review was broken.
Again, this regulation is not about clean air. It is about CO2 which is allegedly causing global warming with ultimate catastrophic result. Yet, Viffermike continues to argue this is a smog issue when it clearly is something else. Perhaps he will stop climbing the other hill and realize those of us with any sense will not follow him up it.
