What’s stupid is that car makers are fully capable of meeting the efficiency standards. Engines have become vastly more efficient over the decades. But instead of that translating to gains in mpg, it translates to gains in horsepower while mpg remains stagnant. Instead of stuffing another 100hp into a Ford family…

It’s OK. We’ll lower the standard and have an even harder time selling cars overseas. Then we’ll impose a tariff, not really understanding that many “foreign” cars are made here and many “domestic” cars are made across a border.
