Should the government impose stricter fuel efficiency standards on vehicles?

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.

Yes

No

 @B2DNDWQanswered…3wks3W

Yes, as long as production costs are not raised, and there is a significant impact on emissions

 @B24STGSLaboranswered…2mos2MO

Yes, provided there is incentivization to implement them.

 @9ZWJCP8answered…2mos2MO

No, the fuel efficiency standards don't need to go even further since there was already a new fuel efficiency standards

 @9ZTPDVMLaboranswered…2mos2MO

No, but incentivize companies to do so voluntarily.

 @9YLJ57BGreenanswered…3mos3MO

Yes, but government funding should be directed at creating sustainable fuels that are cheaper.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Is personal responsibility or government regulation more effective in reducing overall fuel consumption?

 @9TK2RSRanswered…5mos5MO

The government should provide more fuel efficient ways to power houses, travel. It is then up to everyone to convert to efficient energy sources

 @9SYC4SQanswered…5mos5MO

Yes but a bit of subsidies for low-income consumers again

 @9RD9KL2Greenanswered…6mos6MO

No, however make it an incentive to buy more fuel efficient cars.

 @9R36Q5Yanswered…7mos7MO

No. Fuel prices are expensive but this is not the main reason. We need to reopen our oil refineries to reduce fuel prices.

 @9QZJSXKanswered…7mos7MO

Yes, but find a way to ameliorate impact on lower income people.

 @9QS3S9Lanswered…7mos7MO

Yes, if production costs and vehicle prices are subsidised, and if it has a significant impact on overall emissions.

 @9QQXC8Banswered…7mos7MO

I have to read more about it. Neutral - no opinion.

 @9PSLVTYanswered…7mos7MO

Yes, as long as production costs are subsidised, and it has a significant impact on overall emissions.

 @9PDPBQYanswered…8mos8MO

Yes, but only if production costs and vehicle prices are subsidised, and if it has a significant impact on overall emissions.

 @9NVZ3QLCoalitionanswered…8mos8MO

Yes, but only if it creates a significant impact on overall emissions, and with government subsidies to prevent high costs.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Can stricter fuel efficiency rules really make a difference in fighting climate change, or are there bigger issues at play?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Do you believe people are more influenced by fuel costs or environmental impact when choosing a car, and what about you?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How might higher vehicle prices from fuel efficiency regulations impact families with lower incomes?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How would you feel about paying more upfront for a car if it saved you fuel money in the long run?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How do you think your daily life would change if all vehicles became more fuel-efficient tomorrow?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Do you trust car manufacturers to innovate and improve efficiency on their own, or does the government need to push them?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Should consumers be more concerned about the environmental impact of their car purchases or the financial impact?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

In your opinion, is it fair to require older, less fuel-efficient cars to be phased out if it helps the environment?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Do you think the push for higher fuel efficiency is helping or hurting the shift towards electric vehicles?
