Exactly, the average ofthe vehicles a manufacturer produces has to meet the CAFE standard. So ,,,
f-150 = 22 mpg
focus = 46 mpg
average of 34.
During the last administration the EPA was given a very free hand and mandated that by 2025 that average had to reach 54.5.
The manufacturers are willing to lose a little money on tiny vehicles to get the extra space for high profit models with lower fuel economy, so the trucks were effectively subsidizing the small cars.
If those requirement are relaxed, truck prices may drop.
