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.

No, the fuel efficiency standards don't need to go even further since there was already a new fuel efficiency standards
@9ZTPDVM5mos5MO
No, but incentivize companies to do so voluntarily.
@9YLJ57B5mos5MO
Yes, but government funding should be directed at creating sustainable fuels that are cheaper.
@9SYC4SQ8mos8MO
Yes but a bit of subsidies for low-income consumers again
@9RD9KL29mos9MO
No, however make it an incentive to buy more fuel efficient cars.
@9R36Q5Y9mos9MO
No. Fuel prices are expensive but this is not the main reason. We need to reopen our oil refineries to reduce fuel prices.
@9QZJSXK9mos9MO
Yes, but find a way to ameliorate impact on lower income people.
@9QS3S9L9mos9MO
Yes, if production costs and vehicle prices are subsidised, and if it has a significant impact on overall emissions.
