CAFE stds on the chopping block
NYT Good riddance. There is no way that the average fleet mileage would ever come close to those numbers anyway. Hopefully the ethanol scam will be cut at the same time.

All of these sites are far left biased and are hardly reliable. I could find some articles on Breitbart that argue the exact opposite. And you pro-green types would reject those.
Who is arguing... and are there really people that are anti green. ;)
But seriously, any EV owners I know didn't buy there cars because they are "pro green". They bought them because they like the cars. Really, they are a pretty nice drive. We are just regular people. When it was time to replace our older cars we analysed our driving and figured out that the EV's would fit the bill. Fun to drive, low maintenance, very low operating costs, fast and nimble, no hanging around gas stations and super quiet. Also no oil spots on the garage floor (our cars were starting to drip from time to time). Lots of neat features like programable pre-warm and no engine running to do it. EV's are not for everyone and for sure they don't replace a pickup...yet. But I don't think it is necessary to categorize a person in some derogatory manner because they like a certain type of vehicle. I loved my truck when I needed one. Now I don't but I still talk to truck people. :W
Just sayin.
