Nice, fuel production is down... so lets make our use of it even greater!!!

This is America winning!!!

I don't understand how this can seem like a good idea even to a climate denier.

American cars are already the least desirable. Reducing the standards will make them unworthy of foreign markets.

Imagine if the US had decided to lead the way into a renewable future. A huge economy powering research, and building home grown tech for the world.

Instead you've got these octogenarians harvesting the wealth of the populace.

My hope is that this is going to be similar to the toilet thing.

In his first term he tried to bring back the giant toilets that used way more water per flush, but manufacturers were like, “Um, no, we’ve got low-flow working well, why would we want to go backwards and cost consumers more in water bills?”

I’m hoping car manufacturers look at current gas prices and go, “Yeah maybe we don’t just make even more giant gas guzzlers…”

Someone should ask him if he did this because Obama had things right.

Double gas price not enough motivation to go more fuel efficient? It's economics.

Cutting food standards led to a rapid rise in avoidable harms and deaths. Manufaurers just stopped doing what they knew was required.

Up next: introducing leaded gasoline! It prevents engine knocking!

If they haven't already, this is when Americans should finally realize that he and his family are being paid for by foreign actors. He is actively putting US business out of the world wide market. The US is going backwards while everyone else moves forward. Did China just hand him a huge pot of cash for putting the last nail in the US automotive industry's coffin?

How long til we see GM make a 7.2L V8 produce 100hp mated to the sloppiest automatic ever?

Well, RAM is at 2010's prices, why not everything else?

Lowkey, this is how I realized I was raised and have existed poor, 35 MPG still sounds of magic XD

Is America tired of winning yet??

Oh cool, now we can funnel even more money to his mates Putin, MBS and the US oil berons

Freedom costs a buck-o-five (a mile)

Drump is actively sabotaging the future of the USA.

So progressive! He's helping us cut back on fossil fuels by making it so prohibitively expensive that no one can afford to drive any more!

/s

And the health of the US people will go further downhill as they breath more noxious fumes. No healthcare for most and productivity as well as longevity will decline. Thank something for AI to replace all these sick people! /s

sheet, why not make the standard 10 mi/gal?

Too late (I hope). At this point anyone buying a petro powered car is just an idiot. Though unfortunately there are about 33% of the public who have demonstrated pure idiocy already.

This is just a warm-up.

Love this. Make fuel more expensive, make cars less efficient. Strangle the American public.
